Hotel Meerkerk

Hôtel comme sur une aire d'autoroute en fait. Ménage moyen: retrouvé des poils par-ci par-là. Hôtel qui a besoin d'être rafraîchit. Pas d'internet dans les chambres mais c'est préciser sur le site je crois. Le rapport qualité/prix n'y est pas. Personnel de l'accueil sympathique. Collé à une cafétéria La Place, petit dej sympa. Facilité de parking.

Un hôtel un peu vieillissant mais bien entretenu et d'un bon confort. L'établissement est propre et très bien insonorisé, pratique d'accès avec un grand parking gratuit et plusieurs restaurants. Je le recommande.

On the positive side: the hotel is located right off the highway and it's easy to find. Also, the beds (twin beds) are comfortable, and the room is large. It's fairly quiet (I was not facing the highway). On the negative side: first, the parking lot is fairly dark, and it looks prime for a car burglary, so I took all my luggage out of the car. Then, I was asked to pay for my room, but in fact, I had prepaid for it - they should have known about it. Then, the front desk assigned me to a room, and I lumbered up to the room, only to find that it had not been cleaned after the previous guests. So, back downstairs with all my luggage... and the front desk said "it must be a mistake from the cleaning crew". Off to the second room: hair in the sink; super hot in the room, and no A/C (not surprising in the Netherlands), so I opened the window - only to be eaten alive by the mosquitoes. Also, WiFi is available only in the lobby; to be fair, after I had made my non-cancellable reservation (so, too late to change), I had received an email from the hotel telling me about the WiFi situation. In summary: my room was fairly cheap, and I got what I paid for (I was to stay there only for a few hours before driving off early in the am to Schipol). Yet, this is not a hotel where I would want to stay again.
