I dont think that the hotel is a 5 star hotel. Its a very good 4 star. Its very remote regarding access to external amenities. There was confusion about the 20 euro food credit which took 4 conversations to obtain, even then the system couldn't produce a receipt for the balance.

Whilst the property is rated at 5 star, it is not a luxurious facility. Rooms and corridors are pretty much due for repainting. Staff members were generally friendly and helpful and the facilities were good although a little basic. For a 6 night stay were only entitled to two large bottles of water in the room on arrival that were not replenished. This is policy at this property. Food was generally good with the buffet representing good value. Ala carte menu is quite limited but sufficient.

Definitely not a 5 star, 3 star tops but there is no option near the racetrack. Racetrack is awesome and very exciting to drive, highly recommended if your are a car guy/girl.

This is a maximum a 3 star hotel overall. Breakfast and dinner were really poor. In the morning almost all tables were dirty and staff have done nothing about that. Also we weren’t offered any drinks or eggs, later we found out that we could have a sunny side up or similar by request but it was impossible to find staff. Beds are just awful and painful, old mattresses with broken springs. Only 1 (ONE!!!) average speed EV charger in the whole facility.

3 star hotel not a 5 star hotel
Several times the hotel forgot our food orders. The room had a sewage smell after complaining it was offered a lower grade room which is a bit pathetic. The swimming pool doesn’t have maintenance the wall and floor are in a quite bad shape. Definitely is not 5 star hotel is more a 3 star hotel. Besides this it’s a good 3 start hotel not a 5 star hotel.

Staff were really friendly and helpful we had a late check in and they were most helpful with providing us with a meal and taking our luggage up to our room. It helped us to relax after a long day, excellent.

Covid stay
The room was clean and fresh. The bed was the only minor fault - not the best mattress otherwise fantastic. The breakfast was lovely. The evening meal buffet was poor and overpriced. Plenty of parking. Not enough sun loungers. I would definitely stay here again. Some good local restaurants within a few miles.

Poor Food Options.
This is an amazing hotel, but it didn't offer a fully serviced restaurant. The menu on offer was very much pre-prepared food only. There was not even a chef to complain to. If you plan to stay at this hotel, add to your plans the need to drive out to a town for an evening meal. There is nothing local to this hotel.
