This place is about 30 minutes outside of Amsterdam. If you have a car and want to visit the city, you can drive to the car park about 10 minutes away and for 8 euro (for the whole car - we had three people), take the train in. Very convenient. The hotel itself is OK. Probably a pretty nice conference hotel in it's day - now it's a bit run down. The rooms are good sized and the bathroom is large and clean. But between the fitness room charge, breakfast charge, internet fee, high prices at the restaurant, etc. we felt a little 'nickel and dimed' by the place. The staff (esp the manager) are very helpful. Don't be fooled by their classy website - makes the place look more modern than it really is.
