Prima maar 1 nacht, maar de 4 sterren niet waard.
Pros:

Goede locatie als je op doorreis bent van of naar het vliegveld.

Cons:

De afwerking van de kamer was oud. Vooral het sanitair voelde daardoor niet schoon. Onze kamer was tegenover een vide vanaf de begane grond waar het restaurant was, waardoor er constant een etenslucht op de kamer hing.

Nice hotel, restaurant requires to be more attentive.
Pros:

Good room size, great staff

Cons:

Restaurant appearance ok but takes a long time to get meal after ordering, to make it worse, both T-bone steaks ordered came over cooked instead of medium to rare, disappointing especially as there were only two other tables occupied at the time.

value for money
Pros:

spacious rooms , good location , very friendly staff

Cons:

F
One of teh family rooms we asked for did NOT have a sofa bed - only couch ..
no screening from car park - ground floor rooms face cars immediatly - perhaps some greenery /hedging or screens could be installed - so teh car park is not so in ur face /
Bathroom needs some TLC - a bit dated and confined. TOILET flushing mechansim very difficult to use !!!

It was okay.
Pros:

It’s spacious, except the shower which is too tight even for someone tiny so I can imagine a heavier person would struggle.

Cons:

There were maintenance issues in my room which were not resolved during my stay.
