Pros:

This is a very nice hotel and was a great stay.very good breakfast. The staff was great. Very good stop.
Very good hotel.

Cons:

No restaurant is closed by only a pizza place. The system when you want to leave does not work at all. I have seen customer waiting and the bar does not open . They give you a ticket at reception to get out but does not work. . When we and another couple went out it did not work either. You need to fix this. Very frustrating.

Seh ruhig und bequem
Pros:

Bequeme Zimmer, genug Platz überall. Zwei Supermärkte ganz nah. Zwei Minuten die Strassenbahnhaltestelle.

Cons:

Es gibt nur Pute als Aufschnitt. Ich verbrachte sechs Nächte hier und jeden Tag Pute war ein wenig langweilig.

Pros:

ein sehr schönes Hotel in super Lage. Tiefgarage, freundliches Personal und eine Küchenzeile im Zimmer sind für uns immer ein Grund hier und nirgend anders zu übernachten auf der Durchreise nach Frankreich.

2 guests - room ready for 1
Pros:

We booked the property last minute to rest during a long road trip. Had noticed that the same room with kitchenette was also available but rushed to book the one without, as I had to book before midnight, and I hoped for a paid upgrade upon arrival, 1h after booking. The receptionist explained there was no availability and could not upgrade me. However, it could have been possible if I had booked directly through them (?) as a frequent guest, then proceeded to explain the several tiers and their benefits. After listening to 6 minutes of bad marketing, I asked if anything else was needed from us and he said no; but when we were to leave the check in desk, he realised I still had to pay…

Cons:

Booked for 2, only 1 set of towels (1 big, 1 small) and no bathroom mat (so one towel was used to replace it) were in the room. When the receptionist was asked to provide the other set, he provided 2 small towels, which is not really handy.
The blow dryer had NO power; the bed lights were falling off. No fridge, no kettle (they were not listed as facilities though they’re commonly found in 3* hotels), no real Wardrobe (as listed instead) but a rack with hangers. The desk and the bed had such a short distance that the chair wouldn’t fit in between.

Prima verblijf voor korte periode
Pros:

Ontbijt was prima, mooie rustige kamer met goede douche en bedden

Cons:

Naamsverwarring: booking geeft aan dat de naam van het hotel begint met 'Holiday Inn...."
dat ga je dan ook zoeken....maar bij aankomt bij het hotel is dat eerste stuk "Holiday Inn" niet meer te vinden, heel verwarrend, tevens krijg je dan een pasje voor je kamer met opschrift "IHG....".
Auto geparkeerd in garage onder hotel, voor toegang naar hotel moet je dan op een knop drukken, maar helaas niemand opent de deur, dus buitenom gelopen. Bij aankomst aan de balie werd al meteen duidelijk waarom de deur niet werd geopend. De medewerker achter de balie (prima kerel overigens), moet gasten inchecken, de bar bijhouden en vraagt ook nog of je iets wilt eten, rest van de nieuwe gasten moet even wachten

Prima plek voor doorreis overnachting, maar parkeren onredelijk duur
Pros:

Netjes hotel met 24 uur receptie vlak langs de snelweg

Cons:

Parkeren bleek niet gratis en was 20 euro voor 1 nacht. En dat op een prijs van 82 euro voor de kamer!

Pros:

Sehr freundliches Mitarbeiterteam

Cons:

Das einzige was fehlte, sind Kosmetik-Tücher im Badezimmer. Leider ist das weiße Handtuch dadurch nun etwas verschmutzt.
