Last minute posting forced me to stay in this overpriced town. At £81 for a box room with a window opening onto a corridor and dirty en-suite, I will not be returning.

We have stayed at this hotel a few times but I think it is just getting worse and worse.

Don't get me wrong we had a lovely suite known as the "July Suite" - it was huge with a massive bed, three piece suite a massive flatscreen TV and a very large bathroom.

We stayed DBB at a good rate of £53.00 per person per night.

The evening meal was okay, it was a carvery. We were a little surprised that there were no greens, just carrots and red cabbage. The parsnips and roast spuds were a bit dried up although the meat was fine.

We were however kept awake until 4.30 in the morning by people in the bar down below our bedroom, which over looked the carpark and the outside seating. I have never heard such noise before in a hotel!!! The bar was obviously still open as they were clearly all drinking. Some weren't even even staying in the hote as I heard them call for taxis to take them home. We mentioned this to reception she just said "oh well, they have probably been to the races".

Breakfast was very chaotic, having to do your own toast, then you queue for your breakfast (which is self service), lots of things not topped up, you have to order your eggs separately. By the time you sit down, everything is cold.

Would we return?.......................Probably not!!!!!

Recently stayed overnight to go racing. Able to walk down the road and watch the horses on the gallops. Amazing sight. Discovered a complimentary shuttle bus round the corner from the hotel which takes you to the course. Hotel in a good location for the High Street. The lady on reception very friendly and welcoming. We paid for a superior room which was huge more like a suite. Breakfast was okay, cereals, fruit, full english, etc. Staff very friendly.

OMG where do I start. The room we stayed in room 33 was off a corridor so no outside window although we had air conditioning which was ok. The bed was rock hard and all the pillows were like bricks so very uncomfortable. Although the bedroom was clean the avocado bathroom suite was dated and water stained. The bedroom was very small for a double room and really didnt warrant the £158.00 for one night that we paid. The breakfast was ok but having stayed in Premier Inns in York and Newcastle with my children the previous week felt very let down by everything this hotel had to offer. Yes it is convenient for the racecourse, the staff were friendly but this didnt warrant the price paid.
