Every year that we've come to Germany, we've
stayed at the Holiday Inn. However, the local HI is becoming a little long in the tooth --
"A dump!" one manufacturer remarked -- and the prices keep going up. Therefore,
it was a time for a change, and this year we checked into Fleming's Hotel, just down the
street. Jeff Fritz considers his room "contemporary and trendy," while Doug
Schneider described his as "dorm-room tight." However, breakfast is included, as
is high-speed wireless Internet access -- everything you need for on-the-spot reporting,
SoundStage! Network style.
