Graag weer!
Pros:

Al vaker gelogeerd toen wij op doorreis waren.
Een perfecte plek ook voor meerdere nachten.
Een professioneel hotel dichtbij het centrum.
Je loopt er makkelijk naartoe.
Ontbijt is zeer goed en oom het diner viel niet tegen. Het eten was zeer lekker en zag er smakelijk uit.
Als hotelgast krijg je korting op de maaltijden.
Een zwembad zou het helemaal perfect maken.
Parking is aan de overkant en ook hier krijg je als hotelgast korting.

Cons:

Kan ik niet veel bedenken.

I would of rated this hotel as excellent had it not been for the parking situation.
Pros:

Room was great and my evening meal was also very good.

Cons:

What lets this hotel down is the fact that there is no parking onsite. There is a multistorey carpark opposite but, it makes checking in more awkward. The charge is £10 for 24hrs parking. So, thankfully I was only there 1 night. It DOES NOT state any of this on Booking.com which is very disappointing.
