Nette moderne kamer met povere verlichting
Pros:

Locatie, netheid

Cons:

De verlichting in de kamer. Geen nachtlampen, wel een verblindend witte lamp boven de inkom die 's nachts aansprong bij elk bezoek aan de badkamer en me de eerste keer een adrenalinestoot van jewelste bezorgde. Verknoeide echt m'n eerste nachtrust daar; mijn reisgenoot is gelukkig een diepe slaper. Ik zou nog terugkeren, maar dan plakband meenemen om dat ding af te plakken.
