Excellent choice for a city break. The parking is easy, right next to the hotel. Easy walking distance to the city sights. The hotel was modern, clean and the staff friendly and helpful. Would stay there again.

8/10 Very Good

The Parking is owned by the race course but when we arrived at the security point they had our name and after I'd paid the guard £10 per night (no concessions for blue badges) we parked up fairly close to the hotel entrance. It would be great though if people were told beforehand how the Hotel parking worked. The reception staff were always friendly and helpful and we found it easier to order taxis through them (cutting out the automated booking system that the taxis use) The breakfast was good too. The hotel is very close to the centre of the city but at the moment they are doing road works in many central areas.

Very busy road outside, walls were too thin as could hear next room snoring. Would ask for a room away from main road. Breakfast is good, parking costs £10 per night. Good location to city centre.

Check in was disappointing. The receptionist was lovely however my booking wasn’t showing from Hotels.com. She sorted it for us but not a smooth check in. Rest of stay was fine

The room was ok. In need of a bit of a makeover. Carpet stained in places. Toilet seat seemed to small for toilet and moved when you sat on it. Shower was good. Breakfast available and lots of choice. Staff very friendly and helpful.

A city hotel conveniently located for easy access to the Center. Reasonable pricing and very good value for money

Exceptionally clean room
There was a frequent knocking sound, which I think was something to do with the tank that fed the plumbing system, linked to people flushing the toilet I think, seemed go quieter when I shut the bathroom door. The was exceptionally clean and in very good condition. Some biscuits with the brewing up stuff would have been nice.

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.
