Hilton Munich Airport
The hotel location is super convenient right next to the airport. Unfortunately the spa was closed. The shower didn’t drain. Breakfast food and options were fantastic. I had to pay at the door for breakfast and left a tip, I was told they would bring coffee to my table, nobody ever did.
