Zeer tevreden

Ik verblijf al drie jaar bijna wekelijks in dit hotel wegens mijn werk. Ben uitermate tevreden over de kwaliteit: gemakkelijk incheck, altijd schone kamers en lekker ontbijt! De kwaliteit is zeer goed en constant! Helaas het uiterlijke van het hotel doet te kort aan de kwaliteit wat het te bieden heeft!
