Hele goede kamer met schoon beddengoed en een heerlijk bed. Omgeving is druk maar verder prima. Auto kan eenvoudig onder het hotel staan. Personeel vriendelijk. Aanrader!

Excellent, friendly staff (front desk, housekeeping, breakfast, everybody), and breakfast was really good, too. They have freshly-ground/brewed coffee available at all hours, and if you don't like their coffee, there's a coffee shop nearby.
