Contrary to other review, I found our room neat and sophisticated, by US standards, but wth European bedding(a thermofoam pallet on top of a foam base. Not sheeted as in US.) Modern plumbing and bath design. The public areas are indeed more dated, and cleaners totally overlook regular cleaning of carpet in the lift.
Location is excellent, across street from central rail and bus station, and adjacent to large old-town retail/restaurant/bar blocks. Has bar and restaurant attached, though we did use them. Starbucks and McDonalds across the street, if needed.
Biggest complaint: no air conditioning! You'd think this would not be a problem on days that were only in 60F's(15-20C,) but the inside rises to upper 70F's inside; difficult to sleep. Hotel discouraged opening windows for relief, but this would also have allowed outside noise. Informed another guest of fan in room; ours had none.
The television offering is also sporadic, channels come and go. Fair selection of English channels as the often subtitle them for their own entertainment, and better choice than at our stay in Amsterdam. read more
