Modern, comfortabel en schoon.

Fijn en recent opgeleverd hotel. Comfortabele en schone kamers. Douchecabine is lekker ruim. Meer dan voldoende oplaadplekken voor elektrische auto’s. Daar het hotel op een industrieterrein zit, is €19 wel wat gortig voor het parkeren. Ontbijtbuffet is toereikend, maar betreft het standaard Holiday Inn-ontbijt. Iets meer variatie in de warme gerechten en bijvoorbeeld verse jus d’orange waren welkom geweest, maar dit is echter meer aan algemene Holiday Inn-issue.

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.
