Hotel was easy to find and breakfast was good, with friendly staff. However, there were more down-sides to the stay. Arrived to find there was no travel cot (which the hotel claimed was due to Hotels.com not passing this information to them). We had booked the suite (there is only meant to be one at the hotel) and I checked upon arrival this was the case, which the hotel confirmed. The room had nothing to suggest it was a suite and was no different to the room we saw next door to ours (when it was being cleaned the next day). The bed was very noisy and uncomfortable (frisky travellers beware!), not helped by our child sleeping between us whilst trying not to fall down the crack betqween the two twin beds that were supposed to pass for a double. Worth paying more elsewhere for some guarantee of quality. On another point (no fault of the hotel), why does Alkmaar insists on its churches ringing bells every 15 minutes until 3AM???
