Gastvrij en prettig gelegen
Pros:

Heel gastvrij ontvangen. Er was zelfs een mogelijkheid om onze fietsen in een garage te stallen. De eigenaar of beheerder stond eigenlijk altijd klaar om de deur van de garage te openen.
Het hotel ligt op loopafstand van het centrum.

Cons:

De kamer was aan de kleine kant, maar prima voor twee nachten.
Parkeren wel wat duur als je langer verblijft omdat de auto in een parkeergarage geparkeerd moet worden.
Bed voor mij wat aan de harde kant.

Couldn’t stay Not Handicap accessible
Pros:

Room was on the first floor. Which was not what most people considered a first floor because you have to go up 26 steps and then you are on their first floor. Had to leave the wheelchair at the landing which was about 8 steps.

Cons:

Husband is disabled and we were told that there was only a few steps. He couldn’t make it up without being in total pain. The hotel refused to refund the money for our stay. We inquired about the steps and told them he used a wheelchair and they said that it would work for him.
