We just stayed over night on our way south trough Germany, it was a convenient location for a quick stop and taking autobahn traffic into account. We have plans to go to Berlin in the near future and this would be a very nice place to use as a base even if it's a bit outside and near Potsdam. Interesting feeling of being in the countryside despite being very close to everything. We travelled with our German shepherd an two kids and it all worked very well.
