Kou in de kamers en in hotel zelf.

Another handy stopover during long road trips
Pros:

Hotel was comfortable enough and is used for conferences as too. If you wan to use the pool, you have to walk through the conference meeting room!
We used the place a quick overnighter. Breakfasts was not as slick as the other 13 places we stayed on this trip. I had to ask for a cereal bowl, milk and a spoon. Cooked breakfast, to order, eventually came. Maybe out of season and conference delegates messed up the usual flow?

Value for money.
