More than I expected

My visit to the Avenue Nuremberg Hotel was with my son and daughter in law, who'd stayed here when they'd first visited Nuremberg a few months before. It was not at all what I expected, and I mean this in the most positive way possible. The entrance to the hotel is through any alleyway, past a sort of sleazy night club. As a result, I was expecting the hotel to be a German version of a Motel 6. It's not.
The hotel is in an older building, and like every place else I've been in Germany, extremely clean. My room was large, and had a double bed (actually 2 twin-size beds together in one bed bed frame). It didn't face the street, so there was no view, and it was very quiet. The bathroom was functional - sink, toilet, shower (no bathtub), and again, very clean.
The most surprising part of the stay was the breakfast the next morning. Not at all like the "breakfasts" at most American hotels where you get to serve yourself cold cereal eaten out of a disposable paper bowl, and drink so-so coffee out a styrofoam cup. The breakfast was in a room with several formally-set tables for 4 people, and a buffet of a variety of German cheeses, breads and rolls, butter, jams, muesli, yogurt, and fruit. A waitress, who did not speak English, brought coffee to the table for us.
Would I recommend the Avenue Nuremberg Hotel to other travelers? Absolutely, as long as they don't arrive expecting it to be like staying in a large chain hotel, and accept the hotel for what it is - a small, hotel in the middle of a city.
