Pros:

Mooi schoon hotel met knap ontbijt

Cons:

Ver van alle restaurants af en hebben zelf geen restaurant. Parkeren moet je voor betalen maar waarom? Niets in de buurt…

Breakfast was limited in choice no bread and pancake machine not working. Cakes for breakfast? No metal cutlery or china plates felt like you were camping! Did t think plastic was good for our environment. Hopefully it’s not reused 😕

Pros:

The breakfast was okay for this kind of hotel, but it was better than I expected.

The location was really great, and we had a very nice view of the marina. Our dog loved the neighborhood.

The bonus point is for the great coffee machine they have, it's grinding and brewing coffee from the beans, and the guests can have free coffee or tea any time of the day.

Cons:

The 2nd building has motel style rooms with the doors going to the open air, so they're more noisy than we'd like. We could hear the road nearby pretty well.

I would enjoy coming back to your hotel in the future.
Pros:

All was good.

Cons:

I did not like the eggs at breakfast. Waffles would be nice to have. All other items choices for breakfast were good.
