Andante Hotel

* Location was great for what we wanted on a (very windy) summer week-end. Within 10 minute walk of EVERYTHING along the sea, the famous pier, all the restaurants, indoor shops, casino. * We didn't use public transportation, but trams were traveling the nearby street. * The hotel was small and welcoming, and had everything we needed for a one-night stay. * Fairly priced parking (20 Euros) just steps outside available at the front desk and we could charge to the room. Happy for this since we've gotten weary of destinations where we shlep our bags while paying high rates at parking garages. * Has an elevator which we didn't see listed in the info, a nice surprise. *Full breakfast buffet-style that was lively and enjoyable in the morning. * A small bar next to the reception desk to buy a drink/coffee and sit outside on the comfortable terrace in front of the hotel. * Personnel spoke several languages and were very friendly and accommodating, went out of their way to bring us cushions for the outside seating on a very windy day. * Hotel was perfect for a less costly option for the week-end. * The room was tiny, but had a view to outside and sliver of a sea view. We were amazed how well it was designed. Had everything in somewhat miniature, but it did have everything and was very clean. * Bed was a little soft for our taste, but good for a night's sleep after a big day/evening along the sea. But if you plan to hang out in your room, you'll be sitting on the bed. * Sunday it was a quick drive to The Hague to enjoy walking around/sightseeing. We did a little shopping there and enjoyed walking through The Passages, the oldest lovely shopping "mall" in the Netherlands. * Great people-watching in this area of Holland and things to do and see!

Coffee could have been better. Otherwise, the hotel exceeded our expectations.
