Neu-Ulm. Willi Meinl, senior director of hotel Meinl in Neu-Ulm, and junior Jörg Pahl brings a great passion: with glowing eyes, they tell of their extended bike tours. Then you would most like to climb with, to the hairpin turn at the hairpin turn rows and how to combine the two pleasures with fantastic views from kitchen and cellar. Clear that the hotel owners know well the bike paths in the region very well and also the issue of professional motorcycle have prescribed. have accepted a commitment that the ADAC eV in Bavaria and the Bavarian Hotel and Restaurant Association DEHOGA Bayern now with the high quality "motorcycle friendly hotel and restaurant business." The ADAC has asked what this award for the family.
What are your expectations for the approval of ADAC and BHG?
Willi Meinl: First, it is important that the two big clubs and ADAC BHG to the subject have adopted comprehensive and objective and uniform standards were defined. This is without doubt an important step towards quality tourism for bikers, who previously lacked clear. Second, we are reinforced in our own line. The 100-year history of our family business is marked by change and adapt to the growing demands of our guests, but also to our own. It is our motorcycle enthusiasm flowed with. That we meet the highest requirements as a small family here, is pleased with our view of the impending generational change in particular.
Which criterion is most important to you personally?
Jorg Pahl: The feelgood factor. The guest must feel welcome. No matter when or how. Whether soaking wet leather suit at the reception with the question of chain oil for his plane or the next morning after a recommended route for the onward journey. Of course, it does not work without the appropriate equipment, which contributes quite significantly to the comfort. But the hotel bar open ear, a cozy chat with the bikers. All that remains in the minds of our guests. And of course our constant endeavor to fulfill their requirements to the best.
Which are also limited.
Willi Meinl: In any particular case. But our experience has shown that with goodwill and a little improvisation is much more feasible, even if it can not always be one hundred percent perfect. When our house was once fully booked, we asked our private rooms available to accommodate guests who sought late at night desperately to stay. For us it was no problem and the guests were overjoyed. Only the weather gods, we can not meddle in their business. Since only hope and pray for help.
