How about a bar of soap for the shower and another for the wash basin? Having only one was really inconvenient, especially when paying Indy 500 weekend rates! Being cost-efficient is good; being cheap is not.

Great place shame about the WiFi !!

This was a nice hotel with good facilities and staff. However the WIFI was appalling if not slow it just stopped working and kept logging devices off. This needs attention ASAP. As UK traveler with roaming costs WiFi is critical.
