Prettig gelegen, eenvoudig hotel
Pros:

Locatie, ruime kamer, prima bed, vriendelijk personeel, prima ontbijt. Voor mijn reisje voldeed het aan wat ik nodig had.

Cons:

Ouderdom sanitair met gele voegen, geen gezicht. Alles doet het (nog) maar is erg gedateerd. Voor de rest kan de hele inrichting van het hotel meubilair en apparatuur wel een update en wat liefde gebruiken.
