Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has lovely rooms with comfy beds but some noise issues and a great location near Ascot Racecourse. The service was mostly friendly and helpful. The dining experience was mixed, with some disappointing aspects. Overall, a spacious and modern hotel.
The hotel is in a convenient location near Windsor Great Park and Wentworth Golf Club, which was the main reason for our booking. The staff is friendly and nice, creating a relaxing stay. However, the service can be a bit slow and casual. The rooms, while air-conditioned, can get warm during summer being on the roof. The dining options are decent, but the menu could use more variety. Prices are fair, but some areas could use improvement for better value for money.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were lovely, but there were some issues with noise and cleanliness. The service was warm and efficient, although there were some lapses in attention to detail. The location was convenient, but lacked atmosphere. The dining was enjoyable overall, with a few minor hiccups. The facilities were adequate, but nothing extraordinary.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the room was large and very comfortable, the noise disturbance until the early hours of the morning left me sleep-deprived before an important business meeting. The attention to detail was lacking, with a giant mess on the bathroom surface. The service, on the other hand, was exemplary, particularly the Receptionist who was friendly and went above and beyond any expectations. The location was ideal for a relaxing retreat or a visit to Ascot races, set in beautiful gardens. The dining situation was a bit chaotic, but the staff did their best to accommodate my needs. Overall, a stay with highs and lows.
My birthday was even more special thanks to the spacious and comfy rooms, but the unbearable heat and noise from the ventilation ducting were a downside. The service was pleasant overall, though a bit lacking in finding solutions when issues arose. The location, especially during the snowy season, was stunning and perfect for a relaxing getaway or attending events nearby. The dining experience was lovely, but I've had better in less distinguished hotels. The hotel facilities were accommodating with various amenities available.
