Nice spacious room overlooking the racetrack. Convenient for area we weee visiting. Nice staff and breakfast was excellent. Let down by lack of cleaning. Our room was clean but there was stuff all over the floor which hadn’t been hoovered properly, the room was very ‘tired’ and needed some tlc for example, curtains were ripped and had holes in, furniture was dark and dreary and in areas had damage. Perhaps an upgrade would be needed? Bathroom lovely and spacious and clean. The other obvious area that should have been swept was the outside eating area. On day 2 the same rubbish was on the floor. It wouldn’t have taken staff 5 mins to see to this.
