Noorderbries 404

We only stayed a few days, and the reception staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was quiet and tidy, though the shower drain was blocked. The indoor parking uses a lift, which is a neat idea, but it gets very tight with a large SUV like ours. They should make that clear when people book. The bar was the letdown: barely anyone there, not cozy, and the cocktails were bad.

I've stayed at CORNR hotel twice, and the service has been great both times. The staff are fantastic, and being just a few blocks from the ocean and boardwalk makes the location hard to beat. It feels like a welcome escape from the busy routine. I do wish the fitness center had more options for a proper workout. It's better than some hotel gyms, but that's just my personal preference and wouldn't make me take off a star.

The staff were attentive throughout, and even before booking Marc gave me really helpful information over the phone. We also enjoyed the breakfast and the evening food at the bar. The hotel is near both the shopping street and seafront, and has an elegant feel without being too large, so we felt comfortable there. Our room was quiet, with excellent soundproofing. The bedroom looked lovely, the bedding was high quality, and the lighting could be changed for a TV night, a romantic mood, or everyday use. The bathroom and shower were very spacious, with the toilet in a separate room. At night, subtle lights come on when you enter the bathroom, enough to see by. We could sign into our own Netflix account, and the TV was a good size. Getting to the indoor parking was easy by elevator. The parking area was roomy, bright, and easy to use, and you barely notice the lift moving. I was nervous about using it because I don't like elevators, but it turned out to be a great experience. From inside the hotel, another elevator takes you straight to your car.

The parking setup using an elevator was very complicated, and I wouldn't book it again. The hotel itself has a chic, modern design, new rooms, comfortable beds, and a separate toilet, plus the beach is only a 3-minute walk away. Breakfast was very good. Service could have felt more welcoming, though we didn't have any major problems. All in all, it seemed a bit overpriced.
