Served a purpose for going to the races
Pros:

The location

Cons:

Very tired and outdated. Noisy creaking floorboards on the floor above. Vomit on the floor outside our room in the morning when we got up and still there when we returned from a walk and breakfast. No staff visible on reception to inform . Had to pay to park.

Pros:

Nice staff great place but run down through

Cons:

Dust thick behind central heating pipes and tops of wardrobe so it's quite dusty even though everything else is clean.
Just needs a deeper clean every 6 months and it's good, but that clearly has not had the little bit more time to keep it non dusty.
Oh and the bath hot water tap is so loose it's free and will leak to lower levels soon.
Lovely staff and it's a good place with good vibes, almost my go to choice 😎

Value for money with a lively bar area and comfortable bedrooms
Pros:

The lady on reception on arrival around 18.00 was very professional, chatty and friendly with a lovely welcoming smile. She should welcome all your guests and should be promoted to train all your hotel reception staff

Cons:

The dinner choices were a little odd and the water pressure in the shower left a lot to be desired
