Goed en prima hotel, goed voor een doorreis
Pros:

Mooi kort aan de snelweg voor onze doorreis naar Nederland.
Nette kamer, relatief rustig terwijl het een doorgaande weg was.
Als het raam dicht was hoorde je het bijna niet.
Het ontbijt was goed, niet bijzonder maar lekker.

Cons:

Eigenlijk niet zo veel... Gewoon prima hotel

Tegenvallend
Pros:

Ligging

Cons:

Staat “Airco” maar is helaas niet zo, is ‘n zogenaamd luchtventilatiesysteem.
Werkte ook niet, hebben de ventilator uit de auto gehaald en het zo aangenaam koel gemaakt in de kamer.
Afvoer van de douche bleef lang vol water staan. Afvoer werkte dus niet optimaal.
Nachtkastjes of wat er op lijkt op behoorlijke afstand van het bed. Aan één kant zelf geen. Stopcontacten daardoor ook ver van bed.
