Great stay
This was my 2nd stay at this hotel. The location is very good. Staff extremely friendly. Good parking though they’ve just introduced a parking charge of £10 per night. Good breakfast included in the stay as well as hot drinks available all day. I’d definitely stay here again.

Hotel is within easy walking distance of most things in the city. Road noise overnight is quite bad - probably best to ask for a room facing racecourse rather than the road.

Not the best of starts...
Parking was said to be included, but wasn't. Had to go to the hotel from the car park security to try and sort it out, only to find out my booking hadn't actually got to the hotel itself. After a 30 minute wait, I was offered an apology as the booking had been "stuck in the system". I asked about parking and was told it wasn't included and that I had to pay £10 per night! Eventually, the staff agreed to offer me that FOC as a gesture of goodwill due to the booking fiasco. I then had to go back to the parking security box and explain all this.

Very convenient for town centre and all other sightseeing experieces. Situated right on Race Course. Staff were all very helpful. Breakfast was good. We were in room 310 which was roadside and we found it quite noisy so we had to keep the window closed which made the room very hot which didnt make for a good nights sleep but on the whole ticked the box for our visit. Beware that the Hotel car park costs you £10.

The hotel was beautifully clean and comfortable with a very nice breakfast buffet. But what really stood out was the staff who were so very cheerful, welcoming and helpful that it really was a highlight of our trip's accommodations. Lucy is a gem!

Staff were friendly & helpful. Room needs updating but was clean. Breakfast was good & lots of options. But … there was a lot of noise all through the night, sounded like maybe lift cables banging, the bed was small and was very uncomfortable & the pillow especially so. Slept really badly both nights. Note that parking is £10 per night, not included as was shown in the details.
