I found some issues I have to say. The bathroom was small and it didn't feel comfortable. the room they sold me, said it was ideal for families with two kids, but the sofa bed was small. It was even broken. I expected better quality for the price.

the tv looked old, maybe from the 90s. the shower head seemed to have some red mould, i cleaned it. the room felt quite dated.

refurbished baramazing breakfastfantastic deal
i stayed for a couple nights because i went racing, i had stayed here before and that's why i chose it again! the bar, reception, and restaurant area was refurbished really nicely. the breakfasts were amazing each day, i really enjoyed them. both evenings i ate at the restaurant and they did a fantastic deal with 3 courses for £22 from selected items on the menu.
the room i had was too hot and stuffy, i did have aircon, but the noise kept me awake.
