Pros:

Prima ontbijt en uitstekende kamer. Vriendelijk en professioneel personeel.

Cons:

Spijtig van de verbouwingswerkzaamheden maar niet zo heel veel last van behalve dat er veel laadpalen voor de elektrische wagens verwijderd waren.

Afgezien van de te laat gemelde verbouwingsperikelen was het in orde.
Pros:

Medewerkers prima, eten prima, kamer prima.

Mooie omgeving.

Lekker centraal.

Cons:

Er wordt behoorlijk verbouwd en wij kregen daarvan heel laat - te laat!- bericht. Mijn vrouw is minder valide, dus dat is niet charmant zo'n late berichtgeving. Het was mooi weer, dat scheelde. Maar dit had qua informatie vooraf veel beter gekund en m.i. ook gemoeten. Duidelijk minpunt voor v.d. Valk. Mijn vrouw worstelde zich er wel doorheen, maar ik vond het ook qua afstand naar de eetzaal e.d. te zwaar voor haar. Bij regen had ik wellicht gezegd: we gaan naar huis.
Verder kleine dingetjes: geen ochtendkranten verkrijgbaar of gratis op de leestafel, geen echt speciaal bier op de tap. Hoeft ook niet, maar ik verheug mij daar altijd op. Was nogal standaard.

uitstekend!
Pros:

eigenlijk alles: de maaltijden, de kamer, de badkamer, de parkeergelegenheid, de bereikbaarheid (met eigen vervoer), de groene omgeving en de nabijheid van bezienswaardigheden zoals museum Westerbork

Cons:

ik kan niets bedenken, we hebben ons nergens aan geërgerd; of het moest zijn dat hotelbedden voor ons - vanwege onze geringe lengte - wat te hoog zijn, al zijn ze wel comfortabel

Lekker tot rust gekomen
Pros:

Vriendelijkheid personeel

Cons:

De kraan van douche en bad lastig om aan te krijgen

Price/Quality of restaurant has deteriorated in past few years
Pros:

My family and I have regularly been visiting the restaurant in Van de Valk in Spier for years. The ambiance in the restaurant is always pleasant and professional.

Unfortunately, cost cutting and rapidly rising menu prices has meant you now get a much worse meal today compared with a few years sgo. I now consider the meal prices expensive. In the past, you would receive a complimentary small salad and the french fries were generously served in “puntjes”. During our most recent meal, the french fries were served in a very small bowl and were soggy, clearly having sat for some time in the kitchen waiting for customer. The cod was not hot when served and looked rather anemic with no accompanying sauce. The sliptong served were extremely small, leaving the customer still hungry. The accompanying vegetables served were an unrecognizable curry blend, again in a tiny bowl. In the past, two separate bowls of vegatables were served to cater for individual taste.
In summary, our visits to Van de Valk in Spier will become much less frequent in future and we’ll be searching for better price/quality alternatives in the area for future family events.
