I recently stayed at this hotel for a wedding and had mixed feelings. On one hand, the location near the race circuit is great, and I appreciated the charming ambiance. However, my room was in dire need of maintenance, and the dining experience during breakfast left much to be desired. Service was hit-or-miss, which added to my overall dissatisfaction.
