Top hotels in Scharn
Novotel Maastricht
Great breakfast options. Even some American-specific options. Parking was all automated and gated. Very convenient which is not always the case in this part of the world. HVAC was quiet and efficient. Some older hotels have no A/C so this was nice. Great bed and bedding.

Garner Hotel Maastricht by IHG
We chose the hotel for proximity to the MECC. Great location, parking isn't included in the price. The lobby was very pleasant and had plenty of seating. The rooms are very dated and need a makeover. TV was very small and only had a couple of channels working. We tried to get some food in the evening ...
