I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the staff made a commendable effort during a busy event weekend, the room conditions were not what I expected for the price I paid. I loved the spa facilities, but the dining options could definitely use some improvement. Overall, there's potential here, but some areas need significant attention.

Rooms
5.0
The room was quite cold upon arrival, and the heating didn't work properly. I found the window wide open, which didn't help at all, and the cleanliness left something to be desired, with peeling paint in the bathroom and not enough amenities provided.
Service
6.0
The front desk staff was polite, but I felt they could have been more proactive in addressing issues. While they were nice and tried to help, I often felt like an inconvenience rather than a valued guest.

The location near Brands Hatch is fantastic for event-goers, but once the racing was over, it didn't feel as inviting for a longer stay.

The hotel offers a decent stay for racing enthusiasts, featuring spacious rooms and a comfortable environment.

My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs.

The hotel had a clean and well-maintained environment, which was appreciated during our stay.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel overall! The spa facilities were a highlight, making for a rejuvenating experience. While the location is perfect for racing events, and the food was tasty, I did find the room to be a bit tired and in need of some updates. Additionally, there were minor issues with the Wi-Fi and TV, which could have been addressed better.
