Price was expensive but it was a Race weekend?
Pros:

Location was good

Cons:

No much atmosphere. Very low key. Restaurant was a bit grubby
There was a terrible noise most of the time in the room. Sounded like a low helicopter but I think it may have been the plumbing. Continual . Worst breakfast I’ve had tbh. Overcooked and dried out. The bread was lovely
