Staff needed to be better trained on what food was available. We arrived at 8pm to be told there was no bar service or f
Pros:

Great location for staying overnight for the Uni open day.

Cons:

Far too hot. Felt like the radiator was on and although they’d given us a fan there was limited ventilation and the corridors had no air circulation

Great place for the MotoGP
Pros:

It was a great location for Silverstone and the rooms were spacious and clean.

Cons:

Lack of fridge. I had medication that need to be refrigerated and it was annoying needing to go to the staff to put it in the fridge.

Was very warm - fan was okay but mostly circulated hot air

Pros:

The property was clean.

Cons:

The breakfast was abominable- breakfast bag . The staff weren't that friendly. The location is odd. Was not worth £250 for one night. One towel between two.
