We were a touring group of cyclists. We were able to lock away the bikes safely and park the large support vehicle practically at the front door. The pool was a great opportunity to relax tired legs before a few beers before dinner. Food was good though a request to see the menus in advance to sitting down was declined. Odd but perhaps a local thing. Breakfast was good and a good start to another long day in the saddle.

I travel a lot around the world and every time I Learn a lot. But stay at Fletcher Hotels is a learning experiences right from entry to exit. We arrived around 2.00 PM and after identification / verification were curtly told that the rooms would be ready only by 3PM and need to wait. When we said we have two wheelchair personnel, the front desk did say that we need to take the rear entrance or a ramp where you press a switch and we open the gate et al., for a new nee like us we’re in dark and was running around and finally found out and came up the ramp. If Some One could have come out and guided or atleast explained little MorenClearly We chose to lunch and exactly at 3.05PM were given the rooms with a clear instruction that we need to vacate the room by 11.00 AM sharp on 30Jun and Any late stay would be charged… The rooms were just adequately designed to sleep three in junior suite with an extra bed. But we’re finding it extremely difficult to manoeuvre the wheel chair inside the room. It’s not suitable for any challenged persons. One can’t easily get in and out of bed. Even the balcony being in triangular shape, there’s no legroom to move around even for one person with two garden chairs thrown in there. But the sea view is fantastic and can enjoy it behind the glass window from the room. Infact that was a good pastime for MOM who was engrossed in the heavy traffic of ships moving around. Also the water levels receding and hitting shores at high tides, jelly fishes getting washed away being Savoured by seagulls are sight to see. Breakfast is very ordinary and repetitive. But here again we learnt that irrespective of whether in the hall finishing your breakfast or not, sharp 10.30 it shuts down and cleaners take over. The chef too very professionally told that if you want hot water, please ask in the bar. So for the next few days we went in early and got out by 10.30 Well the breakfast was nothing too exciting and / or expecting to walk in. The sausages were too hard and salty. But evening host JACOM was very hospitable and showed a personal connection in making customers happy with a pleasant countenance . For any organization to be successful it’s the people on ground who matter and here’s one JACOM🤝 In the rooms, the soap kept in the shower is HAND WASH. Not sure whether this could be used for body and hair. But didn’t dare to ask the people there and bought soaps from outside and used it. On vacating day, we pleasantly had the surprise with the front office ROSE who was very affable and even granted us to check out a bit leisurely around 11.30. But we checked out by 11.00 itself. She even called taxi services but proved to be too costly and we made alternative arrangements. But definitely Rose made us forget the inconveniences we faced here.

The staff is very friendly. The interior is beautiful classic and comfortable. There is a lounge with a bank, chairs, a large table, a record player and a library with exchange/lease books. The hotel has no dining room and/or bar. In the lounge you can take drinks and snacks on the room number. The breakfast is fresh (except the juice of orange) and extensive. Very good for us. Gluten free was approached seriously and carefully, and in the morning they came to carry it spontaneously. That personal touch is very pleasant. We had a luxurious room with a terrace in the side building, and we did not find it; and we did not find it obeyed (the others were on the t**** floor, and they found it obeyed, and the staff were in the boxes at morning). There was a tape on the floor. Our luminous room had a beautiful and nice bathroom with shower and bathroom and fehn. Fridge, safe with box. Very beautiful accessories everywhere. The whole room had plaveys in wooden profile. We read about lovely beds everywhere, but we all found them too hard, but that is personal. Beds for longer people a little short (2m). The terrace: a small plate around with screws. There is a table and two chairs, behind the parking lot. The hotel is surrounded by a nice park garden and there are state-of-the-art villas with large gardens. The evening calls the forest; the morning the merl. The hotel is 10 minutes' walk from the centre and you can find it Parking free.

We were a party of 4 people staying in 3 rooms for 5 nights. Good points: Location Very comfortable beds Breakfast Good value given the breakfast Friendly, helpful staff Not so sure: Large reserve on credit card on check in, cancelled on check out Presidential Room not worth it, poor design and decor Lighting in rooms too dim Cool bathrooms Church bells overnight Explanation For the most part, I really liked the Roosevelt Hotel.  However, there were some things that could be better.  The bottom line is though, that I would stay there again if I were ever in Middelburg. It is located in a brilliant position.  It's just 150m from the main market square. Middelburg is a really lovely place to visit.  We didn't find parking to be a problem - we could drop off our cases easily enough and then drive to the recommended secure car park.  The walk back only took 7-8 minutes.  The car park cost around €11-12 a day. The beds are very comfortable (although we always bring our own pillows) and the Dutch breakfast is really good. A couple of days before we arrived, the Hotel contacted us to ask us if we minded having a free upgrade from our Grand Deluxe Room 2 to the Presidential Suite for two of our five nights.  As a party we had booked rooms 1,2 & 3 because these are the only rooms on the ground floor (no stairs).  One of our party was over 90 years old.  They said they needed Room 2 for another resident who wanted to stay on and was disabled.  For that reason, we agreed to the upgrade. The Presidential Suite is large with a ceiling that is at least 8m high.  The bathroom is on a mezzanine above the bed although, thankfully, the toilet is at room level.  We found going up and down the stairs to the bathroom a bit of a pain.  The room decor was not to our taste either - perhaps New York loft style from 20 years ago?  The lighting was too dim as well.   When we moved back to the Grand Deluxe Room, we much preferred it.  The bathroom was on the same level and there was still plenty of space.  However, the lighting was, again, too dim.  The bathroom was spacious and well ventilated which meant that you dry quickly after a shower/bath.  That said, this meant it felt a little cool when showering and drying.  We got a little noise coming from through the ceiling from the room above. Rooms 1 and 3 are standard comfort rooms and felt a little cramped - especially room 1 which has a daft layout. All of us occasionally heard the nearby church bells ringing at all hours of the night. On check in, they put a €3,000 reserve on my credit card for the 3 rooms.  I wasn't happy about this - it seemed excessive.  It put quite a dent in my credit limit.  I suppose it worked out at €200 per room per night and for one night at that rate I wouldn't have objected.  At the end of our stay, they cancelled the reserve without any problem.
