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.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (716 reviews)

Room was to dark even with all the lights on. Not enough privacy in the shower. Anyone in the bedroom could catch you take a shower. Did not like the industrial (or whatever the look is they’re going for) look they seem to have going on. Had big problem with Maie Day restaurant, they managers seemed to be a little weak on the concern.
