Really splendid stay as always and is my go to place for a guaranteed well rested stay when on business. I really appreciated that the receptionist upon check-in remembered my previous room during my previous stay and placed me back there during my current stay. It’s this type of attentive service and quality rooms why I always return when travelling and doing business near by.

Very happy with my stay for the British Grand Prix. Used the gym in the morning which was open early which was great and I really enjoyed my breakfast served fresh and nice and early. Nice bar area and dinner that I had was very nice. Should I be near would use this hotel again definitely. Thank you

We stayed for two nights, and everything was very clean; the breakfast buffet was extensive, the bar staff were attentive and friendly, and the bar food was excellent too. The room was spotless and everything was great, though the only thing I would change is the beds. In my opinion, the double beds are small and the mattresses uncomfortable—when two people share one, we both ended up rolling into the middle of the bed; I hope that makes sense. But Everything else was perfect.

The front desk were very welcoming and courteous. The room was well appointed and maintained, clean and comfortable. The parts of the hotel I saw also appeared clean and well maintained. As I only spent one night here, it would be unfair for me to comment on the food and amenities as I did not indulge at all. In summary, I would definitely add this to my shortlist if staying in the area again.
