Basic hotel room

Room was small but clean and adequate. Staff were friendly and helpful. No chair or dressing table/desk. Only toiletry was a combined shower gel/shampoo. Problems with the lift not working. Need to ensure you drive the correct way to the hotel, the long way around past the station and over the new railway bridge.

Staff were really helpful at the hotel and available when I checked in late after a work trip. There were quite a lot of stains on my carpet which was off putting and no water in the room, which feels like standard practice. The room was fit for purchase for a night stay but I wouldn’t have stayed there for longer as it was a small room.

A night away

The hotel was reasonable but not outstanding - the room was smaller than expected and it was disappointing that security had parked in the disabled bay which I could have done with using as a blue badge holder. The staff were however friendly and accommodating. The rooms were not as quiet as I would have liked and I was woken twice in the night once by a door being opened and once from snoring and the toilet being used by the room next door. The room would benefit from a desk and chair and free WiFi for the duration of the stay not just 8 hours a day. I would return for pleasure I would not return for business.

Day at the races

Day at the races, nice on racecourse hotel with parking. Not sure if you are better staying in town as the course is a bit of a walk into town and there is nothing much near the hotel when the racing has finished.
