Het geld voor een overnachting is het niet waard. Twee overnachtingen voor bijna €500,— is echt veels te veel betaald.
Pros:

De locatie. Dichtbij zee en centrum.

Cons:

Achterstallig onderhoud. Zeer gedateerd. Niet brandveilig. Slecht ontbijt. Geen airco. Gordijn laat veel licht door. Gehorig gebouw.

Pros:

Clean hotel, games room, outdoor seating in hot weather, bar area, entertainment, breakfast on second morning

Cons:

The breakfast on first morning was disorganised as we had booked on Booking.com and not through daish so the waitress wasnt aware of what we wanted as the order was different and gave us someone else's breakfast order, but it was rectified. They got us to reorder the breakfast on second morning and it came correctly.
