Current State of Play at Sharks
I'm due to make my first visit of the year in a couple of weeks, probably for a couple of days.
Has anyone been to the club recently who can confirm the attendance levels have returned to normal after the Christmas / new year break?
Sharks hotels transport etc.
[QUOTE=ATexGuy;3047052]Gents. Any hotel recommendations near Darmstadt? Are there popular German hotel chains nearby that I wouldn't recognize by name? Thanks.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Canary;3047207]I stayed at Contel once several years ago, awful place, would never stay there again.
Dormers is ok and for a short taxi ride the Inter City near the station and Premier inn are also very good especially when they do cheap deals around 50.[/QUOTE]
It doesn't matter which side of the city you stay (Darmstadt or Darm Nord). The "R" runs between the two and in the middle is sharks. Drops 2 minutes away. Technically it's across the main street from the Nord Station in front of the cinema if I remember correctly, opposite side of the street. YOu'll be facing the train station.
Hotels at the main trainstation include US chains, Holiday inn, Moxy, ( if you have any points on your loyalty cards) plus a dozen private hotels. At the North are the ones you pointed out. For all that it matters, if you aren't going to stay til midnight, you can stay in Frankfurt.
I've done both, train station area in Darmstadt, and Frankfurt. The advantage of Darmstadt, especially if you stay past 11, is that you can take a taxi home -a lot cheaper than going to Frankfurt.
