Overall good.
Pros:

Staf friendly and alert about customers. The food provided here is absolutely delicious and suitable for all ages.

Cons:

The hotel is located right by the main road and parking is quite limited, which makes dropping off luggage a bit difficult.

Watch out many rooms dont have a window
Pros:

Location is ok, staf is friendly

Cons:

I got a room with a window, which wasnt a window becouse just behind the window was a wall, with a plant in front and a lamp shining on the plant, which should give you the impression that you could look outside. There was no daylight. I didnt want that room becouse I didnt book a room without window. After a discussion they gave me another room, this room was very nice and had a window but the WiFi didnt work. In the end I was not very pleased about this hotel

A comfortable place to stay with a nice breakfast selection
Pros:

Large, quiet room. Nice breakfast with a variety of options (warm/savory dishes, eggs, some fruit, some cereals, toast)

Cons:

The immediate location isn’t particularly great, as it’s on a busy road with not too many interesting things right there (but you only have to walk 10 min to get to more places)

Goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding.
Pros:

DE kamer was vrij groot. De bad kamer was mooi. Het bed was comfortabel.

Cons:

Er was 1 oudere dame achter de desk die ik niet zo vriendelijk vond. De kamer was een beetje gehorig ten opzichte van geluiden op de weg.
