Restful it meet me and my family's needs.
Pros:

Breakfast was great it has many options to chose from the menu.

Cons:

Eventhoug I did enjoy my breakfast I'm more interested in dinner, so it would have been nice If the hotel restaurant would have dinner too. As, I have a minor the pub close to the hotel it is not a good option for us. Just a suggestion it would be great if the restaurant would be open for dinner too.

4 sterren klopt zeker niet
Pros:

Fijn dat er gratis parking is. Het hotel is duidelijk recent opgefrist. Dus bepaalde ruimtes zien er vernieuwd uit. Kamers zijn ook nieuwer.

Cons:

De airco was moeilijk aan te passen en maakte ontzettend veel lawaai. De kamers zijn ook erg gehorig.
Veel dingen zijn vernieuwd, maar toch oogt veel rommelig en kitscherig. Vuilzakken, zakken met vuile handdoeken van de kuisploegen staan overal verspreid in de hall,...

Comfortable beds and clean up-to-date bathroom.
Pros:

Bed was super comfortable. Suite looked clean and bathroom was excellent. We were right beside the recreation room. There were lots of kids and people in and out of there and we didn’t hear anything, which was great.

Cons:

Super strong cleaner odor in suite that hit you every time we walked into the room. Carpet seemed to be coated with something, probably a cleaning product of some sort.

Cons:

Pool should have been warmer.
