Response:

Thanks to every one who posted replies. I booked a room at hotel Sint Niccolas near the station for 240 gilders. There were some other positive reviews of the hotel on this group as well, so I decided to go ahead and book it.

A few weeks ago we stayed at the Avenue Hotel, which was a 3-5 minute walk from the Central train station. Can’t remember exactly what street (er, avenue?) it’s on offhand, but it’s close. Fairly new, but a bit on the bland side. Amazing breakfast buffet, though, best I’ve ever had in Europe. Our room was 260NLG/night, if I remember correctly.
