Uitstekend.
Pros:

Uitstekende locatie in stadscentrum. Fijn dat er parkeergarage van het hotel was, waar je tegen betaling plaats kon reserveren, dat altijd goedkoper was dan in het centrum, waar je alleen met een dagkaart kunt parkeren. Mooie eetzaal met prima ontbijt.

Cons:

niets.

Geweldig
Pros:

Prachtig hotel nabij het centrum. De parkeergelegenheid is top.

Cons:

Het hotel licht onder een aanvliegroute van Schiphol, dus je hoort vliegtuigen. Je went er snel aan en er liggen oordopjes.

Een heerlijke avondje weg in een prachtig hotel, alleen jammer dat de details niet voldeden.
Pros:

De kamer was prachtig!
De ligging is top. Erg fijn dat het hotel een parkeergarage heeft die je kan gebruiken.
Personeel was erg vriendelijke en behulpzaam met persoonlijke aandacht, ze doen echt hun best om je in de watten te leggen.
Ontbijt was lekker en uitgebreid.

Cons:

Er zat helaas een grote kuil in ons bed, waardoor we minder lekker hebben geslapen. We hebben dit aangegeven bij uitchecken.
Daarnaast vond ik de handdoeken erg ruw en de temperatuur in de douche er wisselend. Dit is opzich geen probleem, maar voor de prijs die je per nacht betaald verwacht je wel dat alles tot in de puntjes geregeld is en van goede kwaliteit is.
