I had a decent stay at the hotel. The rooms were large and comfortable, which made it a good choice for my business trip. However, the service left a lot to be desired, with some staff being unfriendly and not very attentive. The location is convenient for travelers, but it's also quite far from Emmen city center. Overall, it was a decent stay, but there’s definitely room for improvement in the service department.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were top class and spacious, offering a beautiful view of the Drenthe province along with great amenities. The service was fantastic, with friendly staff who went the extra mile. However, the location could be better; being next to the freeway created some noise, and there were no complimentary shuttles for local attractions. Overall, it was a good value for money despite a few downsides.

The location was somewhat convenient as it was near the freeway, but it does come with noise. There were no complimentary transport options to local attractions like the Emmen Zoo, which was a bit inconvenient and added unexpected parking costs.

Dining was quite good with plenty of choices, especially for a hotel in the North Netherlands. The selection of foods was nice, and I enjoyed dining on the terrace due to the high temperatures inside.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the bright side, the rooms were spacious and comfortable, though they did feel a bit dark. I really appreciated the quality of the dining options; breakfast had a lot to offer. However, the service left much to be desired, as some staff members were unhelpful and rude. The location was also a downside, being quite far from the city center and near a busy freeway.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and came with a jacuzzi bath which made for a relaxing experience. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a cool room, which I really appreciated. However, the location next to the freeway wasn't ideal, especially without a complimentary shuttle service to local attractions. Overall, it was a good value for money, but just keep in mind the parking could get a bit pricey.

The hotel has a decent location, although it's a bit far from the center of Emmen and next to a busy motorway. The rooms were quite spacious and had a nice shared balcony. However, the service in the breakfast area could use some improvement, and the dining conditions were uncomfortable due to the heat. Overall, it’s a clean place but not the most convenient for exploring the area.
