Lovely hotel

Great location. Comfortable room. Great shower. Balcony a plus, nicer than a jammed window for fresh air. Breakfast was really good. Shortage of plugs in the bedroom would be my only criticism.

Ideal stay as next to the racecourse, limited parking. Staff on reception were great but the bistro was understaffed for a race date. Just little things were disappointing e.g. water in room chargeable eventhough the room cost was hefty.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
We recently stayed at the Abode, expecting a luxury stay, as that seems to be its reputation. We paid extra for a deluxe room, which was larger and had a great view of the racecourse. But we felt the room was very basic. There weren’t any plug sockets by the bed, only the other side of the room by the desk. The bathroom lights would flicker on and off occasionally. The antislip mat in the bath was covered in black mould. The general fixtures and fittings needed some attention too. The shower rail on the bath screen was loose, the toilet roll holder was loose. Generally it felt like everything needed a refresh. The bed was very comfortable, though and the room was pretty clean.

Always lovely and polite staff,location to the center and also the races is perfect.The only downside to this hotel is the charges for parking,at £20 per night i think this is to much,even if you have a blue badge you still have to pay the fee.
