Really splendid stay as always and is my go to place for a guaranteed well rested stay when on business. I really appreciated that the receptionist upon check-in remembered my previous room during my previous stay and placed me back there during my current stay. It’s this type of attentive service and quality rooms why I always return when travelling and doing business near by.

Very happy with my stay for the British Grand Prix. Used the gym in the morning which was open early which was great and I really enjoyed my breakfast served fresh and nice and early. Nice bar area and dinner that I had was very nice. Should I be near would use this hotel again definitely. Thank you
