"It is a very grand hotel and we loved our big king room, overlooking the racecourse! We dinned in the restaurant, with the food being lovely! Fairly priced, good portions, and range of food on the menu! The hotel needs patronage - it is a diamond amongst many hotels to choose from. We will stay there again!"

"The hotel was nice a bit basic but clean and friendly staff. The continental breakfast was ok but for $20 you get what you paid for. There is an option for a cooked breakfast, which was made to order. Unfortunately the security lock didn't work on the door but had no real concerns, i never felt unsafe. The beds were comfortable so that's always a bonus. I think one of the biggest attributes to the hotel was the staff, in-particular the two ladies who helped & talked me through my options for things to do, sadly I can't remember their names. But they were both really helpful. Overall it was a nice hotel & a good location"

10/10 Excellent
"Perfect for families! We are super impressed staying at this little apartment. It was perfect for our families needs, very clean and tidy, the host was lovely and welcoming. It was spacious and had a great layout and it was so warm when we checked in, with extra heaters/cooling fans. The main living had a king single and a double pull out sofa bed. It has a well equipped kitchen. Then off the kitchen through the door is a mini hallway with closet space, iron and hair dryer + the bathroom. The bathroom had a heated toilet seat, shower with body wash, shampoo, conditioner, very hot water and great water pressure. Back into the closet area through another door is a queen bedroom and the spa area. I love that you have two doors to close off from the kitchen living area for those watching TV. It also has a communal laundry area on site. The spa was great way to rest after walking and taking in the sites. We normally stay at the Pullman or Millennium, but needed a different amenities and the apartment was more suitable with the kids to come and go. It was also very quiet considering it was fully occupied, we didn’t hear any of the guests."
