The verity of food was good. The food was hot.
The area was cramped. Plates on one side of the room, food on the other. The 2 tables were in the lobby, where the check was.
GrohnkeUnited StatesGreat price. Bed too high for me. I'm short.
Wasn't that fond of the breakfast. It could have been hotter. And the eggs without the mixed vegetables.
I liked the quiet and the woman that was at the check in. Very nice and thorough. Also said she has a 8 year old…

- That the desk is staffed when you land, and that the room is held past cut-off.
- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.

Questions about Der Ruhe Blatz Motel
What time is check-in and check-out at Der Ruhe Blatz Motel?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Der Ruhe Blatz Motel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Der Ruhe Blatz Motel?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Der Ruhe Blatz Motel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Der Ruhe Blatz Motel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Der Ruhe Blatz Motel?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Der Ruhe Blatz Motel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
