I will be in Alkmaar for a few days mid-march. Never been there before. From what I've read on this informative and entertaining board, you can't go wrong by relaxing for a few days there. So I'll give it a try. There are three hotels that are the best looking options:
Hotel te Laat - very close the the RLD.
Hotel Stad en Land - across from the train station.
Amrath Hotel - less than a kilometer from the RLD.
I sent emails to Hotel te Laat and Hotel Stad en Land, asking them if they have internet access, preferably in the rooms. The Hotel te Laat did'nt respond, and the Hotel Stad en Land answered some of the rooms have wireless now, the rest to follow, and there is an internet PC in the lobby for hotel guests.
The Hotel te Laat would be nice, because it's so close the RLD, and the Langstraase for shopping and dining, but I would sure like to be able to plug in to the internet in my skivies (sp?) (pajamas), and work a bit from the comfort of my hotel room (work work play play, work play work work, work play play play, fuck work).
So, does anyone know if the Hotel te Laat has decent wireless? And basically, is the hotel relatively comfortable?

Hi Falco,
The hotel Pakhuys has internet facilities but do not know if this service is in the room? This hotel sometimes has offers on summer/winter promotions and is just 100 meters or so from the RLD and cheese and beer museums.
Try the NL hotels site for information or bookings.com.

Well I booked a room in the Hotel Stad en Land. They seem very nice. The Hotel te Laat also responded and said they have wireless in room 2, which I believe is their largest suite.
Just out of curiosity, I wonder how many of you actually select Alkmaar for your holiday destination, rather than Amsterdam? Does'nt it sound appealing to spend a few days in a quaint, beautiful dutch town? It just sounds soo relaxing and fun. OK and yes, I'm hoping the girls are a bit more relaxed and generally wonderful.
And, for the record, Amsterdam is one of the most beautiful cities I've been in. I love the place... but it's nice to expand your horizons, and seek out new adventures.

Just noticed on the rail link from Amsterdam to Alkmaar theres a stop named "Castricum".
Bet it doesn't have a RLD.
