Goed en indien nodig zouden we hier nog kunnen verblijven.
Pros:

De bedden waren goed. Alles was proper. Het ontbijt was uitgebreid en zeker voldoende. Het personeel was vriendelijk, maar zeer luid.

Cons:

Er waren 3 plaatsen waar een USB kabel aangesloten kon worden op de slaapkamer, maar geen enkele was werkzaam!
Het eten in het restaurant was zeer beperkt en dat zouden we zeker niet aanraden, maar al bij al hadden we niet meer verwacht.

Overnight stay.
Pros:

Comfortable and decent hotel
Good value for money. Staff were pleasant, and breakfast (included) was good and plentiful.

Cons:

The toilet seat in our room was very loose, and the lid just came off. Also, the towel rail was loose. We did report it to the staff.
Otherwise, it' was very comfortable.
