펑소와 타월교체가 잘 이뤄졌음. 조식 종류가 많은 것은 아니나 깔끔하고 괜찮음. 다만 객실이 좁아서 트렁크를 열기가 힘들었음. 근처에 슈퍼가 많이 있어 편리함.

Overboeking, er werd pas in de avond een bed bijgeplaatst op de kamer. Niet genoeg handdoeken op de kamer. Gaan bijvragen, douchematjes meegekregen ipv handdoeken. Tijdens ontbijt twee keer mijn boekingsmail moeten laten zien ivm betaling ontbijt. Dit was reeds betaald. Maar ze vonden de info niet direct terug. Onprofessionele, jeugdige medewerkers voor zo een hotel. Geen propere accommodatie. Ontbijt en ontbijtruimte waren wel goed. Geen relaxed verblijf door het hele overboeking gegeven en niet bekwame medewerkers.
