The Lodge

The lodge is a great location if you are going to the racecourse. We arrived at around 1:30 as the first race was at 2:30 and was told that if we wanted to check in early we would have to pay a fee of £20. When the races often start at around 2-2:30 this seemed unreasonable. I had to come out of he racecourse between races to check In. I’ve stayed at the Lingfield racecourse hotel and they checked us in 12:30 as our room was ready. Went for breakfast at around 7:50 and there was no menus out, the staff seemed totally disorganised. There was no instructions on how to order food. The continental “help yourself” was ok but had very little fruit options. They did have alpro soya and oat milk as milk alternatives. The room was clean and tidy but very basic. It did have a free standing fan which was good in the warm weather. The bad was big and comfortable. The shower was nice and had shower gel. The customer service let it down a little.

I stayed there for one night for leasure reasons and am more than happy with the value for money. I was a bit "put out" when i arrived to check in and was greeted by a half eaten donner kebab on the reception desk and no staff but they did appear fairly promply and apologised for the kebab. The hotel room was fine in terms of size and had lots of mains sockets a very comfortable bed and useful bedside lights. Despite being a faily warm summers evening (in my opinion) the room was a reasonable temperarure and an electric fan had been left in the room for uae as needed. There were tea and coffee making facilities but no work desk so (again imho) im not sure how good this would be if i had to stay there for work purpoaes. I wasnt a fan of the small window which was treated in such a way that you could not really see out unless you looked through one of the holes in the treatment film however given the hotel is located between two apartment buildings i accept thia may be for privacy of both apartment residents and hotel guests alike but it did make it feel a bit claustrophobic. Hotel well signposted and easy to find. Good free parking next to hotel. I was there on a Friday evening on a non-race weekend - I imagine the hotel would be a lot busier (and more expensive) had there had been a race fixture on. So would I go back? Yes for a short leasure trip

Very pleasant hotel. Nice and quiet
