Good to know about the Schlossgarten. We chose the Steigenberger because it was directly across from the train station, and I had to manage 2 small kids, 2 large rolling suitcases, 1 carry-on sized roller, 2 backpacks, a and a double stroller, all between myself and my wife! Amazingly, it all fit pretty well in the Macan

Love the car!! Picking up my .1 Targa in June and can't wait!
How safe was the hotel parking?
1. Is it secure?
2. Safe from door dings?
3. Can you park it yourself or beholden to valets?
4. Is there space for me to apply temporary Xpel to the areas not being professionally done while I'm in Europe?
Thanks also for he hotel reco

I did not have any Xpel applied in Europe, I would have if I had thought about it ahead of time. Didn't have any road rash issues that I am aware of...only issue was at the factory in Zuffenhausen after delivery. Had to park it in the visitors lot at PORSCHE and they were doing some parking lot work at a lot just in front of it. When I returned a few hours later after factory tour and lunch, my front hood and windshield had some concrete slurry splashes on it!! Took it directly back to the delivery are and they cleaned it off. NOT where I expected to have any problems!

Just got back last week from the Euro Delivery of my Targa 4S on April 26. This time stayed at the Schlossgarten, in my option way nicer than the Steigenberger. Have eaten at a small Italian place "Valle" this trip and on a previous MB delivery a few years ago. It's really good and about a five to ten minute walk from the hotels.

My car finally arrived!
We took delivery this morning of our Macan S. So it took almost 2 months from drop off in Stuttgart to delivery in Los Angeles. Some odds and ends: they left our kid's car seats, warning triangle, first aid kit, and license plate in the car for us. Also a little trash was left over in the door pocket . Glad that it's here, now time for a road trip!

They were very accommodating to our children... They held my Amazon.de bought car seats and had them in our room before checkin, all staff were very friendly with them... We couldn't ask for better hospitality!
