Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was great, close to the racing areas along Bury Road and just a stroll from the high street, offering beautiful views. The rooms were decent but could have been more luxurious. The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to make our anniversary celebration special. The dining experience had its inconsistencies, but overall enjoyable. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
I booked an executive suite for £250 at this 4-star hotel, and while I felt it was a bit overpriced, the rooms were nicely furnished, with comfy chairs and good beds. The overhead noise was a downside, but the room was quiet and well-ventilated, with the added bonus of a window that could be opened instead of relying on air con.
I booked an executive suite for £250, expecting a high standard for the price. The rooms were decent-sized with a very comfy bed, but I was disappointed to see children treating the pool like a leisure center. The limited seating in the bar area was a drawback.
The hotel was an absolute delight, with quiet and relaxed rooms overlooking the Godolphin yard. The service was fantastic, offering a range of amenities like room service and a welcome drink. The location was above average, allowing easy access to town and horse viewing. The dining experience was mostly excellent but could improve in temperature and cooking. Overall, a high-end lodge experience with great services.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of wonderful amenities but overshadowed by disappointments in service and room quality. The complimentary fudge and coffee were lovely touches, but the chaotic pool area and unsatisfactory room conditions left much to be desired. The dining experience had its highs with attentive staff but lacked consistency. Although the location offers a pleasant outlook of horses, it falls short in cleanliness and comfortable seating options.
