햄프셔 호텔 - 처칠 테르뉴젠

I have stayed here several times over the past 8 years whilst traveling for business, and for some reason the quality has recently declined and as such I won’t be staying again, and will make sure nobody from my company stays here again. It is a very basic hotel, but always has been. However on the recent business trip there were two issues. 1) as a business hotel I would expect they could provide and iron and ironing board. They told me that guests have stolen these items and so they no longer stock them. I often see business men running away with spare ironing boards tucked under their arms (***?). I asked them to kindly find one so that at least on my second day of business meetings I could have an ironed shirt. They did not do it, later informing me at 11pm that if I wanted to I could go to their sister hotel across town and use their iron. Why they could not have gone to their other hotel and brought one over during the day makes no sense to me at all. Having an iron is a pretty basic thing - all airbnbs have them, so why not a hotel? Secondly, the pool is filthy. Look at the photos. People have even written “filthy” in Dutch in the filth gathered on the side of the pool. When was this last cleaned? It made me wonder that if this is the state of the pool, what about the rest of the hotel?

We enjoyed our stay at the Churchill Hotel, recommended by a friend who lives nearby. It was easy to get there via public transportation (#20 bus from Goes station to Prof. Zeermatt St. stop). Rooms are rather basic but comfortably furnished. Fabulous location right on the walking path at water's edge. Easy 10-15 minute walk to town center (even if it looks farther on a map!). Our rate included breakfast and the buffet was very nice with good variety. The staff was very welcoming.
