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.

Luey and Norris (aka the Cowboy Innkeeper) are so sweet and charming. We felt right at home. Having Luey making breakfast while talking and laughing was so heartwarming and the food was incredible. The room we had was wonderful and unbelievably clean. We will be back for sure!
