Room was very dusty in corners of room,phone was very dusty as were the tops of lights & skirting boards. car parking very stressful as no parking spaces within hotel on arrival,steam room was closed off & noticed the doors around pool area were in need of a good clean,Breakfast good as were staff & location of hotel is central to town,we have stayed in a few crowne plaza hotels over the last few months & found this one disappointing & it was most expensive one too,the front of building is situated underground & if on my own i would of felt intimidated as a secluded area.Reception is situated just above lower ground,so not very welcoming as you enter hotel. Sorry just needs some improvements overall & good housekeeping 😔

Been before, but this was not as good, staff were helpful as expected, however the room we were given was not acceptable, the toilet had been used and was blocked. We were given a replacement. My overall opinion is the room was looking a bit tired and in need of an upgrade , the bathroom was not as good ,the shower head was poor water flow and not as clean as i would have liked. There was not enough tea and coffee and milk. The tv remote batteries were flat. The windows need secondary glazing as traffic noise was bad, We use IGH hotels a few times in different city's and think the crowne plaza chester is a good hotel, but needs some attention to details for customer satisfaction. We will probably try elsewhere in chester next time

Would have given 5 stars but were not given access to club room despite being included until enquired on second day. Complimentary drink didn’t quite make up for that. On gaining access to the club room it was unfortunately rather disappointing. Notwithstanding staff were on the whole very helpful and accommodating. Excellent food and service. Would definitely stay again due to convenient location but would not bother with premium club room.
