"Great 4-star home base for Battle of the Bulge. Very clean, AC worked fine, adequate electricity in the room, WiFi was good. Shower was fantastic; bed was Queen sized with a new mattress and nice sheets. Parking is around back, but it's covered from most rain.
Breakfast was a bit pricey but the nicest that we had for the whole vacation. Excellent food and a wide assortment.
This is a higher-end place, and the clientele show it. We saw some "celebrities" while there.
Local grocery store, "Cactus," is fabulous to fill up on the things you need for your car. Water, snacks, etc. About a five minute drive, in Marnach.
Very good "central base" for touring the Bulge. The chateau, itself, was part of a relatively minor skirmish but just down the road in Clervaux (a *must* see) the Americans really held up the Germans in a rather significant battle. Marnach, where Cactus is, also held the Germans up with strong resistance. That's the theme of the whole area, and Urspelt is a great location to start from. St. Vith, Malmedy, Bastogne (of course), Houffalize, etc. are all easy to reach and worth the trip.
TV was good. Note that you can change the "sound" setting to get American shows in their native English, which opens up a lot to watch while you wind down.
Highly recommended for couples. Highly."
