Meschenmoser

This was a lucky find. Not having booked a hotel room for the week of the biggest outdoor fair in Europe was probably ill advised however it led us to Hotel Meschenmoser, a very nice hotel close to the shore of Lake Constanz. We arrived late and I popped in quickly to see if the last room that was supposedly available according to our internet search was indeed free. The night concierge confirmed it and had us checked in and comfortably parked in no time. Our room at the top floor (accessible via stairs and elevator) was quite spacious with a good sized balcony overlooking the village of Langenargen. Perfect for yoga in the morning sun. A big double bed, a comfy sofa and adequate work space allowed us to feel right at home. No complaints about the bathroom or the cleanliness of the room either. The breakfast buffet served in the bright ground floor space included scrambled and boiled eggs, slices of smoked salmon, a good selection of cold cuts and cheeses, fresh yoghurt and a variety of bread, rolls and jams. There is also (limited) outdoor seating. Coffee and tea was refilled with a smile by the attentive and friendly staff. The hotel is just a minute walk from the shore of Lake Constanz and a short stroll along the pleasant ‘Langenargen Uferpromenaden’ takes you to the village centre and a couple of perfectly nice restaurants. Staying here was well worth the somewhat longer drive into Friedrichshafen each day. The concierge actually gave us directions to use some back roads to the Friedrichshafen fair grounds so we were able to avoid the very busy B31. Hotel Meschenmoser was a lucky find indeed.
