Niet het geld waard. Onhygiënisch en gedateerd. Prima sportsbar ernaast.
Pros:

De bar naast het hotel en het ontbijt zijn top!
Personeel in de bar is super vriendelijk en de bar is gezellig.
Het ontbijt is in een soort koffiebar, erg goed geregeld en compleet.

Cons:

Simpelweg niet de prijs waard.
Mooi op de fotos, zeer achterhaald en niet schoon genoeg in de praktijk.
Hadden gereserveerd voor 3 nachten, na inchecken direct aangepast naar 1 nacht en dag erna iets anders geboekt.
