Besoin d'être sérieusement rafraîchi, mais confortable
Pros:

Le personnel était très sympa ! Le parking est grand et gratuit. Le lit était très confortable.

Cons:

L'accès à l'hôtel après la fermeture du pub au rez-de-chaussée se fait par la sortie de secours à l'étage... Étrange mais cela ne m'a pas dérangé au final.
Les lieux communs de l'hôtel même sont très vieux et pas très accueillants au premier abord. Cet hôtel a besoin d'être sérieusement rafraîchi, mais la chambre et le confort dans elle-ci compense la vétusté du reste.

Je krijgt waarvoor je betaalt
Pros:

Personeel was vriendelijk

Cons:

Heel klein, oncomfortabel bed (een twijfelaar)
De kamer had uitzicht op Tata steel
Versleten indruk zoals het behang en de kitranden
Ontbijt was wat karig. Ondanks de ontbijtkaart en geboekt inclusief ontbijt was er geen extra keuze uit bijvoorbeeld toast of jam. Kregen alleen thee of koffie bij ontbijt aangeboden geen jus d'orange oid
