Very poor service an hour and half in advance we called so they could make sure there was a taxi ready at arrival, so we could make it on time at our appointment, they forgot. Room was not clean, clean sheets & towels, but we could see marks of toothpaste on the sink, table dirty,... The room had a very intense bad smell.

It was a pitty that the cleaning lady came knocking on our door as from 10:45 eventhough check out time was at 11:30. We decided to stay in the hotel to be able to sleep after a party so that we wouldn't be awakened by our child. But if we would have know, we would have prefered our child knocking on our door instead of the cleaning lady every 10 minutes.

Spacious and comfortable rooms, good parking, close to motorway and Ghent, just 90 miles from Calais, too. Sadly we did not have enough time to try out the restaurant. Would recommend allowing more time for your stay.

Room smelled like cigarette. It is big but the room ruins that. Checkin is at the restaurant -- not nice. Plus the cleaning lady entered our room without knocking before it was our due checkout time!!

Held a meeting there recently. Stale cookies, questionable homemade ice tea and front desk so unfriendly you try to avoid asking them anything. Location is a plus, close to highway and room is adequate.

I came here for a business meeting - very convenient as it's on an arterial route/road which means that businesses can meet and stay here without going into Ghent. It has lots of room for restaurant/dining and is very clean and professional. You must make sure that you get a room at the back of the hotel away from the main road, otherwise, you will lose sleep. The food is decent but quite expensive for what it is - great serving staff though and very good breakfast. Beds are comfortable and room are clean - baths are small but OK. Getting here is difficult if you are not driving - you have to get a taxi from Ghent ( about €23) or else get a bus (€3). I got a taxi there and a bus back - the bus only takes about 5-10 minutes longer and you can get them close to the Shell garage (about 5-minute walk, but be careful crossing the road). I had to wait for about 20 minutes for my bus, but the stop is covered. In retrospect, I would have stayed in beautiful central Ghent which is as idyllic as Brugge and well served by very regular cheap trams - great for getting to Sint PeterTrain Station which goes straight to Brussels Airport in about an hour and 10. If you are happy with a good, modern roadside hotel, with attentive staff and food, then this is a good option, but get the quiet side!

We chose this as an "easy off / easy on" hotel, to break our journey before hitting Brussels traffic. What we found was a hotel with really comfortable and well-equipped rooms, and excellent dining - both dinner (on a terrace) and breakfast. Th staff were helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

This experience is a hard one to rate. I feel the food was four stars but the service was three stars. So really a 3.5 is the real rating. At this point in early August 2018 this hotel is under construction 🚧 but no one mentioned that in the reviews on TripAdvisor. {TripAdvisor is more popular here in Eastern Europe than Yelp which I am disappointed by because I feel I can search more specifically on Yelp and Yelp reviews mention early important things like when restaurants are cash only that TA reviews seem not to mention. But to see more reviews you must search TA.} You can see they are trying for a very upscale feel for their new decor at the hotel but it’s so incongruous next to the construction rubble. Ok, on with my review: the staff were all in their twenties, some younger and although there seemed to be a lot of them, we still felt ignored. No one greeted us so we had to ask at the bar. After being seated by one person, menus brought by a second person and water delivered by a third person we had no idea who our waiter/waitress was! They didn’t seem to know either as no one came to take our order for an uncomfortable amount of time. We flagged down our first staff member and she took our order. After the meal was delivered by a fourth (!) waiter we were never approached again. No questions about needing anything or for more drinks. We finished our meal, each used the facilities and when we were all together again at the table no one had still been approached by staff. The restaurant was about 1/2 to maybe 3/4 full, there was lots of staff, but they would disappear to the point where none could be seen. We ended up wanting to leave to get to another place on time so we asked for our bill at the bar. I kindly and calmly told all of this to the young manager as we left as true constructive criticism which he thanked me for. The ironic part was the food was good! Smallish menu which we prefer but nice round selection of food. I got the risotto, husband got beef filet, son got sole fillettes. It was all four star food. Bread was good, fries came with one of our meals and they were also tasty. A small house salad with bitter greens was also part of the meal. For the $$$ price, service should have been as good as the food. Hopefully it improves.
