Carlton Beach
Lovely stay. Great view to the beach with easy access. Hotel is located toward the end of the beach which was quiet but yet near everything close by. Convenient with the parking garage right near the hotel.

Riva Hotel The Hague
The room was nice and clean, and affordable. Hotel is somewhat off the beaten path but right next to the bus station. A 24hr casino selling booze all night=BONUS !!!!
