Clean , comfortable, good breakfast & close to all amenities .
Given room 126 think for light sleeper as the nearest room to the busy road , didn't bother us as we had enough drinks to sleep , great view of the race coarse on other side.
Parking was £10 on hotel site therefore easy to get in & out .
