Excellent

Not sure what we were going to find as the reviews are very mixed however we arrived just after 11am and we parked at the hotel very easily. We went to reception to say we had parked and the very helpful lady checked and said our room was ready so we checked in. It was a large room with a massive bed overlooking the end of the race course. It was a quiet room.
We did not eat at the hotel that day but we did have breakfast which was very nice. It is not a buffet - you order and it is all brought out to your table. The restaurant is on the five floor and has spectacular views. All the staff we spoke to very very nice and friendly.
The hotel is just over the road from the City Wall, 5 minutes walk from the town and about 10 minutes to the park.
We would definitely recommend.
The hotel was very clean friendly staff the rooms were spacious, the bed very comfy, the bathroom very clean, the only fault was the non slip rubber mat in shower it wasn’t the best, they excelled us with giving us a room overlooking the racecourse
The hotel is ideally situated for exploring the city.
Personally I didn't like not being able to open a window.
The hotel is perfectly functional but has no atmosphere whatsoever.
Parking is too expensive
Staff at the hotel couldn't have been more helpful. The room was fantastic, large spacious, immaculately presented.
Breakfast was lovely, great selection of dishes to choose from (I can definitely recommend the full English and also the baked egg and chorizo)
Lovely modern hotel, perfectly located for a short stroll into town & just across the road from the racecourse! Lots of parking spaces underneath the hotel too & 2 large public car parks very close by.
Lovely comfortable bed & nice decor. Excellent breakfast options too.
Extremely busy weekend, possibly affected the service available at this time, we did go, due to a recommendation, so can't imagine it's always like this.

Smelly room
Our 8th visit to the abode and will be the last ,
Room was filthy and smelt damp . When you book a suite you expect a little bit of luxury unfortunately this was not luxury it was far from it.
