Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a beautiful venue with soft comfy beds and quirky, individual rooms, making it a great recommendation for anyone planning a stay. The atmosphere is quiet and comfortable, offering a well-furnished and pleasant experience. However, there might be some noise issues for light sleepers.
The hotel was a pleasant surprise with beautiful, clean rooms equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Though located a bit away from the main building, it was very nice and super clean. The service was extremely helpful, especially with a cooked breakfast made before the kitchen was officially open, though not the politest at times. The location, despite some noise, was lovely and close to attractions. The dining experience was decent with high-quality options but slightly overpriced. Overall, a great value for the night's stay.
The hotel was located in a delightful annexe building, a short walk from the main area, offering clean, spacious, modern, and airy rooms with a narrow but well-appointed bathroom. The rooms had plenty of towels and toiletries supplied, exuding personality instead of a bland corporate vibe. However, the location was not ideal with some areas being dirty and old, though perfect for the race track.
