Leonardo Hotel Hannover Medical Park
Nice breakfast facilities, special thanks to Frau Gaza-Kolthoum for helping us with queries about breakfast. Pool is nice though would be nicer if a different outdoor space was used for smoking

Leonardo Hotel Hannover Airport
Room/staff were really nice. As an elderly person having to pay $40 to park in a park house over a block away an roll my baggage across two roads in the dark to the hotel was unacceptable. If I would have known I could have done things differently.
