For us the location was great, the adjacent building has a Hertz office and we were able to return our car here (from Berlin) and unload luggage to the room from the parking garage. The Ostbahnhof (East Munich Train Station) is across the street with a short 10-15 min walk to the platforms for the S-Bahn, U-Bahn and Trains. Our next leg was train to Zurich, so we walked over and took a U-Bahn (S-Bahn also works) to the Hopbahnhof across the central Old Town, then took the train from there.
The area of the hotel is a modern upgrade/ retro shopping, dinning area with office and factory blocks. The large Ferris wheel is right there at the hotel. It was easy to catch a S-Bahn to the Old Town -Marianplatz -city hall square.
There is no A/C, the windows open -some road noise in morning, the air isn't cooled, just venting air. This seems to be a "Green" CO2 thing along with the requirement to put your cardkey in a wall bracket to enable the room lights. When the card is in the bracket, you can use the lights, when you take the card out, all the lights turn out. I used a few of my Business cards instead of the room card and that worked just fine. Saw this system elsewhere in Germany.
They were providing free large pretzels, water and beer for sale.
It's not hard, but walking from U/S Bahn stations into the Octoberfest (Wiesn), without the high prices and crazy busy loudness of staying near Octoberfest.
