What guests think

Across many reviews, Ascot Park Hotel stands out for friendly, accommodating staff, spacious and comfortable rooms, and multiple on-site dining options including a popular bar, making it convenient for families and business travellers with easy parking and useful amenities.

The property is a little outside the town centre, which some found less handy, though several still described the location as convenient. Feedback on older motel units and housekeeping is mixed, with dated areas, occasional cleanliness lapses, delayed check-in for some, and one report of early entry by staff. Food quality and pricing draw varied opinions, the pool is enjoyed by families, while the gym and Wi-Fi receive criticism, and occasional noise or weak water pressure are noted. Overall, expect a comfortable, full-service stay, strongest in the main complex.

A pleasant place. No pretensions but clean enough and comfortable (I stayed in the hotel, not the motel, so I don’t know what the motel rooms are like). The staff were welcoming and helpful. The restaurant was surprisingly good. The hotel is a little way outside the cbd so only convenient if you have a car. The pool is very ugly and the gym is a disaster - two out of four machines broken and the weight bench so rickety that it’s too dangerous to use. If a pool or a gym are important to you, I’d suggest going elsewhere. Otherwise, this is a good choice.

This hotel is awesome! We received a free upgrade to a 1-bedroom apartment which was so lovely and such a nice surprise! The Emberz bar was great with delicious well-priced food. Our son loved the pool and sauna. We will definitely be back, thanks so much Ascot Hotel!

The room smelt like fish. When complained only got a note saying sorry about the smell and have a drink on us. No follow up from staff or asked if we wanted to move rooms. Because of this we left after one night even though we had paid for two. Customer satisfaction obviously is not a property for this business very disappointing as there for a funeral.

We had 2 rooms. 1 had clothes hanging in the closet from a previous person. Obviously the cleaning person did not check this. The other room had 2 cleaning rags left on the counter. The rest of the room was clean and seemed fine. Just that the 2 different items seemed strange to be left behind for the next customer.

Huge hotel that had plenty of space with rooms both in a complex and separately as a motel style. There was quite a wait as a large group was checking in just as I arrived, and they seem to have a reluctance to provide a receipt when paid through Expedia group. But friendly enough and a good stay. Very comfortable and warm. Sadly there is a main road nearby that a group decided to use for a burnout competition for about an hour around 1130. Cannot tell if this is a regular occurrence - and if I was in the main complex I probably would not have heard it. Definite option for a stay again next trip.

The room we stayed at was renovated and the bathroom/shower facilities was very nice. During the early hours of the morning, kids were running back and forth along the corridor which caused some noise in our room. Overall the stay was great however on the morning of checkout, was disappointingly woken up to housekeeping team at 8.30am (before checkout time) knocking on our door. Without giving us an opportunity to answer, within a few seconds they were able to come into the room even with the security lock on. While I understand a hotel reserves the right to be able to access any hotel room, on this occasion it made us feel unsafe knowing the security lock can be so easily opened. While they were quick to apologize and leave the room upon seeing that it was all dark as we were still sleeping, we felt they should've at least double-checked before insisting on coming in. This incident was such a shame as it did spoil our impression of the overall stay.

We enjoyed our stay. The room was warm and comfortable and in easy walking distance of the Sports Bar where we had dinner. Staff there were fantastic! The only negative was the shuttle bus driver we had in the morning. He didn’t get out the drivers seat to unlock the boot for our luggage then when he picked up two elderly guests, one with obvious mobility issues, he again stayed in the van. My husband got out and assisted them with their luggage and getting in. He also assisted them getting out and putting their suitcases on the path for them. The driver we had the night before was fantastic.

Arrived at the hotel in the midst of a severe wind storm. The front desk staff were busy dealing with multiple issues including a new reservation system, but were polite and offered 2 drink vouchers to use while awaiting check-in. They were quickly able to get us checked in. Rooms were clean and comfortable with parking right outside the room. Beds were comfortable. Check out was simple. All staff were very accommodating and polite.
