NH Utrecht
Stayed 4 nights, great location to both the train station and the sites, nice restaurant for dinner, I didn’t have the breakfast but it looked good. A free drink to opt out of daily cleaning was a nice touch.

I reserved two room, one was adequately sized while the other was extremely small. Room was clean with good amenities. Breakfast was good with plentiful choices.
