Hotel suggestions for Delft and Utrecht
 
Help me here, please. Any ideas for a nice, quaint place?

Are you traveling by train or car? We have a few favorite hotels in the Utrecht area, but you need a car to reach them.

In Delft, we stayed at the Hotel de Plataan, which was about two blocks from the main square. The price was reasonable and the staff were very helpful. It is a good walk from the train station, though - especially with luggage. If you're arriving by train a taxi would be the most reasonable option to reach the hotel.

I will have a car and will be coming from Lisse.

I'm sorry, I can't find the info on the pretty hotel we stayed at in suburban Utrecht...it was about halfway between Utrecht and Amersfoort (we've also stayed at the Ibis out that way, and while it's certainly pleasant and the staff were excellent, it sits at the edge of an office park by the highway, not at all what anyone would call quaint).

Try the Hotel Leonbruck Or Leonbrugge in Delft. It is a number of years ago that we stayed there, but it was comfortable, the owners were nice and there was a plentiful breakfast. Can't remember how much it cost though, but I'm sure the prices have changed. Don't know if anything else has changed. If I remember it wasn't to far from the rail station and was on a canal, next to the Lion bridge.

The Hotel de Plataan may do the trick. We will have a car and it looks like it has free parking, which is a plus.
I couldn't find a Hotel Leonbruck Or Leonbrugge in Delft. I did see a Lion's House. Could that be the same one?
Also, any one know anything about Hotel de Kok?

I've stayed at Hotel de Kok four times. It is a nice hotel, but no elevator or air conditioning. There is a small dumbwaiter type elevator for luggage. It is close to the train station. The owners are really friendly and helpful. Great breakfast buffet. I'll be staying there again on May 23 for 5 nights.

Hotel de Kok it is! We just got back a confirmation. It should be fine and does have parking for the car. Thank you for the suggestions.
