Love the location and how easy it is to find. Staff are friendly but could do with a little more information on arrival. Also people running around at all hours on the floors and you hear everything when people are running up and down

It’s quite a big place at the time of check in wasn’t told which floor or anything that we were staying on so kinda of had to navigate and find our own way around the property. Love that you have a lot of people staying but breakfast time the tour bus people can be quiet rude but other then that the property is great

Location was OK. It was a 20min walk to shops and restaurants. Room and bathroom were large compared to most hotels these days. Fuscia and Cristine at reception were helpful.

Very large but very tired looking hotel. Mildew grout and stained bath tub in the bathroom. Stained carpeting in the hall way. Poor quality breakfast buffet. No ala carte breakfast options.Poor service in the dining room. No amenities in this hotel except for a gym.

Big rooms & spacious place, got a huge car park which is free, they cater mostly to group travels, very close the the race track so peaceful at night, this property has more space compared to others as it is an old property, some upgrade is required to makle an impact, but for the current price it is a value.

some upgrade needed inside rooms as per modern standards.

Staff were very pleasant.

The beds were far too soft for us - we could have done with much firmer mattresses. Most people prefer them I think! Rooms and carpets etc. were shabby - overall a bit rundown in some areas. Also there was a 'stale' smell although overall cleanliness seemed okay. Too noisy at times in the public areas! Outside the front entrance was difficult at times to access due to coaches dropping off large groups of people right at the door.

The main entrance, foyer presented very well, the restaurant area was amazing. Location was good too.

We stayed in Room 312 - the areas of concern for me was the bathroom and kitchenette area plus the spa bath. It was quite bad - old, dated and the shower was mouldy, I had to wear my jandals while showering, there was discolouration to the vanity and white droplet marks in the basins. There was no hair dryer. The spa bath was also dated and the jets did not work. The kitchenette was not not fully equipped - no utensils, not enough tea and coffee provisions, some of the cupboards did not close properly. Outside of the room there was an open roof cavity with wires hanging down - a health and safety issue in my view. The grand entrance and amenities did not reflect the same in the rooms. This was very disappointing.

Close to the race course

It’s falling apart the shower, bath, sink, everything apart from the bed needs replacing. Our toilet roll holder was on the floor, actually out of the wall on the ground with toilet roll still on it. Was told someone would fix it didn’t see anyone . There was mould on the blinds, the spa bath was so old and had stains.

Although clean & tidy we thought it could do with a spruce up. It’s a bit dated. There was no tea towel or dish cloth available in the kitchen which would have been helpful & there was a lot of noise above us during the night with what sounded like doors shutting all night.
