This hotel is in a great location and within easy walking distance of Chester centre bars & shopping. The staff are very pleasant and the rooms are spacious with all the usual extras. The hotel offers good bar & restaurant facilities too. There is a gym but we didnt use it! The breakfast is buffet style and the food was plentiful and nice. Secure car parking is available across the road. We have stayed at this hotel many times for the races and other events and cannot fault it!

the breakfast was quite nice however it took some time to replenish the food as individual items ran out.the hotel was really nice as was our twin room and we enjoyed the pool soon after we arrived.but was nt happy paying £12-00 for parking when it would have been free if we had booked direct with the hotel.this is something that you don t tell customers and should address.overall the hotel was great value for money for what we paid apart from the charge for parking.

We felt the room was a little tired especially the bathroom. Breakfast was limited selection and not hot enough, having the toast precooked on the buffet may save time but leaves it cold and soft. Good for one night but no longer.

The room felt quite dated and wasn’t as clean as expected, and the pool area also seemed poorly maintained. While the bed was comfortable and the hotel itself quiet, the overall experience was disappointing. Breakfast was average at best.
