Pros:

Th location and facilities were good

Cons:

The breakfast, from everything out except cereal and.toast...a d some dried powered egg no other protein, nor fruit. Disinterested staff in THAT AREA ONLY, and just an area full of humans rhat just straight-up made.me uncomfortable and anxious as they ran wild. I dont know which came first, staff that hated being there or guests being pushy rude perks but after someone pushed by my daughter to bump thr line ams grab whatever and making her drop her plate amd cry we left. Her toast mess was still there 25 min later.
No, I do mot.needmto discuss this further its just what happened.

Mooie ruime en rustige kamers!
Pros:

De mooie ruime kamers en de rust ‘s nachts . Ook de ligging: heel gemakkelijk dicht bij het station en de universiteit!

Cons:

Jammer dat zowel het zwembad als de hot tub out of order waren, en ook de pannenkoeken-machine bij het ontbijt.

Enjoyed our stay and would recommend it.
Pros:

Check-in was easy. We came early and were told if there were available rooms that time, then we can get the rooms.Thanks to the Staff that morning who assisted us and gave us the rooms. Buffet breakfast was surprisingly good for the price.

Pros:

The location was incredible. We took the trail which was just a few steps from the hotel front door. We also were able to leave the car parked all weekend as we could walk to the venue from the hotel because it's literally 500 meters from the door
