Staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful.

Fishing is available nearby for those wanting a quieter pursuit alongside the city's usual pubs and eateries.
What guests say
Location is excellent for racecourse,city and shopping and zoo or local attractions. The £12 parking fee per day i feel is a little steep and there is a car park over the road which could be used i think for half that.Rooms were clean and comfortable and a nice size clean bathroom with toiletries . Breakfast included and there was a hot buffet choice as well as cereals ,pastries ,toast and fruit. Staff were all friendly and helpful. No air con in rooms only fan but the windows were open and we found this to be sufficient even in the warm weather . Would not hesitate to stay here again .

Hotel was nice and very worth it for the price. The staff were all lovely, attentive and even remembered our room number. When we went down for breakfast, they had reserved a table for us with a high chair right next to the food which was very thoughtful and appreciated as we had our baby with us. The rooms are simple and clean. They could maybe do with updating but for the price I was very happy with it. Next time I visit I will probably stay here again.

Lovely hotel with friendly staff. The room was a good size with a comfortable bed. The shower was nice and easy to use. Breakfast had a really good selection of different foods. The only fault was the bacon was overcooked for me, but that's just personal preference. Would definitely stay here again.
