Hotels in Wolfsburg with Swimming Pools

We were not warned that the swimming pool was not available and we had chosen the hotel for that. We chose the €24 buffet option for the evening meal but it was disappointing with only 4 dried out dishes plus one kind of dessert. There was also a very meager little cold buffet. No restocking apart from dessert. The buffet breakfast was much better but the pancakes were probably reheated in the microwave so inedible. Too bad because the staff is friendly and the hotel is very well placed geographically.

We just had a short stay here to visit Autostadt and Phaneo since we had earned a free night through Marriott. Arrival was great and easy - everything went smooth. Our Marriott Gold status was recognized and rewarded with the discretionary upgrade. Unlike most places, the pool was a lot larger than expected and heated to a comfortable temperature. What stood out was the quality of the service. It was friendly and professional, without being pretentious. The front desk staff was top-notch. One person, in particular, made our stay memorable: Frau Vogel-Villanueva. She was able to jump from German to English without problem, and she was able to accommodate our requests without missing a beat with a great attitude to go along with it. The rooms are clean and well appointed. The location is great, as it is in the middle of Autostadt, and entry is included with the stay at the Ritz. It is also easy to get to the other side of the river using a bridge that connects to the Autostadt, There are a number of restaurants and the Phaneo in comfortable walking distance. The Phaneo is highly recommended for families with kids - the most interactive science museum we have visited. One could easily spend 8 hours here. If there was something to correct would be that all restaurants in the hotel were booked out upon our arrival, which forced us to find alternate dining arrangements. In the future, an email or message notifying guest would be nice once restaurants are close to being fully booked. We were already tired from our travel and then had to go looking for dinner, which was less than ideal. Overall, I can recommend this hotel for 2-3 night stay for families, with one day at the Autostadt and a second day at the Phaneo + pool time.

The Weber Gasgrill course was super today. Christian and Daniel have brought it super over. There is a lot of learning and hope that it will work at home similarly well. To finish the evening, a delightful drink in the hotel bar.
