Hotel de l' Esplanade

In the past we had stopped of here for coffee and excellent strudel so it seemed a good idea for an overnight stay. The location is amazing with good views of the Mosel. We arrived on a very sunny afternoon when all the world wanted to be by the river in Remich so parking was very difficult and we had to park a long way from the hotel. Obviously not much the hotel can do about that but maybe warning guests that parking can be difficult sometimes. Reception was friendly and efficient and the room had a good view of the river as well as access to a shared balcony (unfortunately used for smoking by some guests). Back to the sunny afternoon and some aircon or a fan would have been appreciated. We decided to eat in the restaurant and found the menu a bit expensive and found the portions unnecessarily large, Too much food seems an odd criticism, but smaller pertions would probably have left room for a dessert. Service in teh restaurant was fine. Breakfast was good, again with friendly service. A great location but a few things could be improved.
