9/10 Wonderful! (224 reviews)
This hotel is beautiful. Great balcony room. The front desk staff are super helpful. The dinning room young lady was AMAZING - she's a 10. The hotel is an industrial area in a one road town. So the area was NOT great. But we came for F1 and it was easy to get to track. And we had limited options cause busy time. I like this hotel the room was big and comfortable and clean
