Goede prijs/kwaliteit

Nieuw hotel en goede prijs/kwaliteit verhouding, behalve prijs van de parking (19€ voor buiten het centrum!). Bediening moet zich nog inwerken volgens mij, maar dat is niet erg, zolang ze maar verbeteren.Kamers aan de kant van de autostrade hebben wel last van geluid vanaf de ochtendspits. Stil uitslapen is moeilijk.
