We were traveling during a June heat wave and were so so happy for the air conditioning. Our room was a good size for our family of four. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was convenient and so was the bar in the lobby. The entire hotel was clean and welcoming and we enjoyed our stay!

I will start with the positives. The Hotel is situated in a beautiful location looking onto Epsom racecourse. Nice big carpark and the hotel it’s self is very up to date with nice decor. I enjoyed the all you can eat cooked breakfast on both days. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The not so positives The twin beds are a bit on the small side. When I moved one of the beds it was really dirty underneath it with an old condom packet. The room was really hot on both nights even though it was 15c outside and the window had been open all day. So we ran the very noisy air conditioning. A very annoying thing was the smoke alarm has a flashing red light and is just above one of the beds.

Very quiet, excellent parking. Room has dirt on the floor. Shower mat had mold on the underside you could see through its transparency. Nice buffet breakfast. Paid in advance, with credit card on file, so why a £30 security deposit? Ruins IHG image & reputation. Stayed in their Boston Airport with renovations with no issues. Disappointed.

Nice hotel, lovely location by Epsom races. Rooms well equiped with ironing board, iron, hairdryer (quite powerful), bedside reading lights, tv, blackout curtains but sadly no fridge. Beds very comfy and nice pillows. Bathroom well lit with good mirrors. Breakfast not the most expansive but has all the basics. Bit more limited if yr gluten free like me, i did advise them in advance and a very helpful lady knew about me and got me the allergy sheet and gf toast done out back in a special toaster. I had bacon n beans (i dont eat eggs) and an apple. Note that the forest fruits were NOT gluten free nor the sausages or hash browns. They did have gf cornflakes availble too.

Even with some help from Reception to try and order a supper from town, I failed to master the technology on my iPad! I was advised to wait and I would hear that delivery was on its way. After a very long time waiting in Reception, staff took pity on me and made a few phone calls on my behalf. It turned out that my order hadn’t gone through! By now it was late evening and I was very hungry. One of the Reception staff disappeared and came back with 2 croissants and butter, which went down very nicely with a cup of coffee in my room! I was very grateful.

The property adjoins Epsom Racecourse and was an excellent base for our activities such as golf in the area. The rooms are of an excellent size; clean and fresh considering the hotel is amazingly 15 years old. The car park is of a good size, convenient and the buffet breakfast excellent. The front office, cleaning and breakfast staff are competent and friendly. The Rubbing House Restaurant is very close and serves excellent and reasonably priced evening meals BUT please book. The hotel is close to the Epsom township which is well served by shops. Park at the Ashley Centre. There is also a very good Thai Restaurant contained in The Plough Hotel in nearby Leatherhead. We could not fault our lodgings here even if picky.

They also allowed us a late checkout, which was a big help. The breakfast buffet had plenty of great options, and I loved the coffee machine. Overall, a comfortable and thoughtful experience.
