Pros:

De rust, de kamer, de mensen die er werken, en het is een veilige plek.
De bar en eet mogelijkheid daar is ook top 👌

Cons:

Er was iets in de kamer aanwezig wat er niet hoorde te zijn.
Ik heb het aan de eigenaar gemeld, hij maakt er werk van. Dus t is opgelost.

reasonable price the beds were very comfortable, Bar was good
Pros:

the owner of the hotel was lovely very friendly and welcoming. the place is very old but looks like they are trying to renovate. your vehicle is secure behind motorized gates which was a blessing for the owner , says it can get a little rough there. My room was 3 flights up the stairs which i struggled immensely with because of my disability's but this was the only room that could accommodate the 3 of us.

Cons:

just the renos. You can tell that they are trying to make the place look better but it is cheap looking.

Overall, a good experience for what we paid for :)
Pros:

Staff is incredible helpful and flexible. Food and drink service is available until later in the day which is great. Diverse menu, we've only tried their pizzas, those are not bad at all. Love the pool tables.

Cons:

I wish the room have a separate sink outside of the bathroom, the TV is at a pretty odd position haha, though we didn't watch it much. Bathroom could use a bit more cleaning :).
