Perfect little stop on the M2 area.
Pros:

The hotel was a great location for our travels. It was excellent value and the views over the lake were fabulous . Staff were friendly and attentive. Early morning coffee by the lake was a great way to start the day. There was a good choice for breakfast and our hot food was served quickly.

Cons:

The hotel decor and some facilities are a bit dated but you can’t fault the service, location and value for money.

Can’t complain too much.
Pros:

Loved the view of the lake and the access to it, staff were friendly.

Cons:

The breakfast area needs some tlc, also chairs more appropriate for all guest sizes. They very uncomfortable and the choice of food was way too basic.

Perfecte locatie als tussenstop; prima prijs-kwaliteitsverhouding
Pros:

Ik snap oprecht de slechte reviews niet. Ideale locatie op doorreis. Fijne familiekamer en zeer diervriendelijk. Goed restaurant voor avondeten en ontbijt; beiden waren top. Vriendelijk personeel. Alles is schoon en fris. Fijn terras aan het meer. Prachtig bos om met de hond te lopen.

Cons:

Als ik iéts moet noemen dan wellicht dat het aan de warme kant is op de kamers in de zomer

Very good
Pros:

Great location for tunnel. Decent room and lovely outside are with fishing ponds etc.
Bar food was excellent quality with good size portions. Well priced.
Clean rooms if a little tired; very friendly, helpful staff. Suggested and allowed us to pop motorbikes in their compound for security, much appreciated! Traffic noise wasn't really a problem.
I'd happily stay again.

Cons:

Met all expectations
