Stay here!

Beautiful hotel with friendly staff! The Derby-themed rooms are incredible and the walls are like works of art. I could not have enjoyed my stay more, with impeccable cleanliness, a comfortable bed and eco-friendly, quality amenities.

Anniversary trip.

Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025

Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

The room was super nice, bed was not the greatest for me, just a little uncomfortable. Honestly parking was the worst. There are not a lot of spots and no dedicated parking for hotel members so the parking lot is pretty full and even if you are staying for the night, you will end up parking far out.
