Pros:

It’s a nice pool—not big, but warm; it really is heated, just as advertised. My child had a great time swimming there. It offers good value for money, and it was a pleasant place to relax. The room was clean.

It was nice but I feel like some things need updating.
Pros:

It was a decent price for a night stay. It was clean.

Cons:

I don’t like that they pre charge for any damage but it will get refunded. The description said queen size bed but it seemed smaller than a queen. Breakfast was ok, not a lot of options. Not much lighting in the room, felt very dark especially with the aesthetic of the room. Very dated.

Di Disappointing
Pros:

There was a breakfast available.

Cons:

Room had a pungent odor. Switched hotels because of it. The person who reserved was unable to make it because of another child sick. So, we couldn't get the room. Double paid because of it. Very disappointed because we had already paid. I guess we know next time that we shouldn't a have done the respectful was and prepaid. 😞

Het ontbijt. Alleen koffie en geen sapjes.

Good for one night stay
Pros:

Hotel and room were bit dated but very clean (except desk chair!) good bedding.

Cons:

Personnel not very talkative, breakfast nothing to talk about (bagel or cereals) no juice, yogurt etc.
Warning sign in the room: not to smoke, make spots etc. not showing much hospitality…
