8.6/10 Excellent! (196 reviews)

Stayed here for the F1 weekend. A more affordable option than closer to the track. Drove from here to the Decker Lane shuttle each to get to the track, which was about 20-25 minutes away. The reviews are accurate. The hotel is well-kept, clean, tidy, comfortable. My room had a stove and microwave and was a decent size. It helped to cut some of the food cost for the trip. Didn't need much interaction with the hotel staff, but they were friendly and accommodating when I did. Overall a great and comfortable stay. I'd highly recommend it. Great that they have free parking and it's pet free.
