I wish to claim for a full refund. The property has a bar opened to 0200 AM and the noise in the hotel from 2-4 in the morning had affected my sleep and made the stay uncomfortable. No one picked up the phone and I complained to the hotel duty manager. The sockets in my room did not work also. Disaster. Full refund please

Well located and reasonably priced

Very welcoming staff and the downstairs was clean and well maintained. Next to the racecourse the hotel parking was effortless, paying at the manned entry booth with either cash or card. The room's sofa bed cannot really be used as a sofa as when you sit on either end, you roll into the middle. Road noise on the road side, may seem obvious but loud even when dry, or pay extra for a racecourse side room. A 5 minute walk into the city centre with everything that has to offer.

You booked us in a disabled room which we didn’t request, kept awake at night with green emergency light glowing in the room. You now have to pay £10 per day to park.
