Pros:

De locatie van deze accomodatie is geweldig en met een eigen parkeerplaats voldeed dat aan de verwachtingen. De kamer en badkamer zijn schoon.

Cons:

De inrichting is verouderd en de meubels zijn licht beschadigd. In het beddengoed zaten gaten. Hierdoor is de prijs kwaliteit heel scheef. Er is geen ontbijt mogelijkheid.
