I stayed here overnight om 19th June to be close to Ascot for the helicopter extravaganza early on Thursday. First time in the place and it's not bad in the car park but you have to dodge a few trees and lamp posts when panning. As it was persistently raining we didn't venture beyond the car park to see what other places we could find but I'm sure there are a few to be found.
We didn't try photos from the windows - the glass was filthy and as they are narrow panning would be difficult anyway. It's handy for the summer evenings and early mornings when the sun is on the right hand side of the aircraft - hence the choice of hotel.
Lens wise it was minimal, 100mm is ample (a bit more nearly head on shts down the approach path) and 150 is too much! You need something that goes down to about 30mm at least for side on shots of the biggies.

there's a road beside it you can walk down but the public can park in the car park at £10 / 24 hours as well.
