Prima maar eindigde jammer genoeg met een domper
Pros:

Vriendelijk personeel en alle begrip met betrekking tot latere uit check en eerder ontbijten.

Cons:

Parkeergelegenheid. Beste flinke Schade gereden tegen een onoverzichtelijk muurtje recht voor de ingang. Na melding hiervan bleek dat dit al vaker gebeurt was. Zelfs bij eigen personeel.

Op zich goed maar door slapeloze nacht stuk minder goed.
Pros:

Personeel was vriendelijk en ontbijt was goed

Cons:

Was verbouwing gaande. Vanwege stijgerbouw rondom het pand en het s'nachts regende, maakte de regel veel lawaai op de stijger. Hierdoor meer dan halve nacht wakker gelegen vanwege neerkomende regen op de stijger

Fijn verblijf, goede sfeer
Pros:

Fijn verblijf. Op verzoek kregen we extra dekbedden. Het vroor 's nachts, dus dat was fijn. Er is een Nespresso apparaat aanwezig. Goede bedden!

Cons:

Door de verbouwing stonden er stijgers voor de ramen. We kregen een gratis drankje als tegemoetkoming. Dat vonden we een mooi gebaar.

Kale ongezellige kamer, en bedrag voor hondje 30 euro erg veel. Lag wel een tennisbal en poepzakjes klaar. Die had ik zelf wel..

Het harde geluid van het ventilatiesysteem was vervelend en onrustig. Deze ging gelukkig uit in de na middag en avond. Dat was fijn!
