Zandvoort, Netherlands
On Monday Morning I went on a driving tour, first to the North to go windmill hunting, and then to a beach resort town to the west of Amsterdam called Zandvoort. It was pretty much deserted when I got there.
When I returned to my hotel room in Amsterdam, I couldn't find my belongings. Then two women unlocked the door and came into the room and started arguing with me in some strange language. I had the feeling maybe I was in the wrong room, so I went to the hotel lobby. The receptionist said that my reservation expired that morning. It was a misunderstaning. They got me a hotel room in another hotel in the same block: Hotel Maas. It was a much nicer hotel with similar prices, so I always stayed there thereafter with the exception of my last trip to Amsterdam. Hotel Mass is located at Leidseplein. That's not in the redlight district but close to lots of other places like the museums. I highly recommend the Hotel Maas.
