Hotel Kreuzlingen am Hafen

We visited Konstanz, Germany, to see the Hus House. Hotel is less than a mile walk into Switzerland from the Konstanz train station. More upscale than we are accustomed to; offers an upscale restaurant which we did not use due to price. No water kettle for tea/coffee in the room, but complimentary bottled mineral water available. Problem: no front desk service available for checkout between 3 a.m. and 7 a.m. We needed to catch an early train and were unable to finalize paying the city tax which is usually not collected until checkout. This lowers our service rating. This information is listed in the written info in the room, but we did not read this soon enough. Rarely do we find a larger hotel with limited front desk service. (That can be more common in a smaller family-run hotel.) Shopping center (including takeout restaurants) on road between train station and hotel.
