Once you're inside, the property is excellent. The only problem we had was finding it! Good location, close to the town centre, pubs and restaurants.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (209 reviews)

I chose this hotel to be near the racecourse. It is 30sec away. There is one even nearer but it is a Holiday Inn Express. Potential guests should understand this is an 'unstaffed' hotel. No kitchen, no meals and no concierge. You have a keypad for the main door and another one for your room. You let yourself in and out. And there is a machine where you can leave a tip! The building appears to have been converted from a large terraced house in a side street. The quality of my room was very good with modern features, nice shower and inevitably it was quiet. I was arriving early evening, going out for dinner, sleeping and leaving at 0800 so was perfectly adequate. But it isn't a 'full-service' hotel.
