Excellent choice for a city break. The parking is easy, right next to the hotel. Easy walking distance to the city sights. The hotel was modern, clean and the staff friendly and helpful. Would stay there again.

The Parking is owned by the race course but when we arrived at the security point they had our name and after I'd paid the guard £10 per night (no concessions for blue badges) we parked up fairly close to the hotel entrance. It would be great though if people were told beforehand how the Hotel parking worked. The reception staff were always friendly and helpful and we found it easier to order taxis through them (cutting out the automated booking system that the taxis use) The breakfast was good too. The hotel is very close to the centre of the city but at the moment they are doing road works in many central areas.

Very busy road outside, walls were too thin as could hear next room snoring. Would ask for a room away from main road. Breakfast is good, parking costs £10 per night. Good location to city centre.

Great hotel in a very good location for Chester city centre. We got a great deal through Hotels.com. Parking is not free anymore £10 a night paid to the Racecourse. Very helpful staff and very nice breakfast.

The room was ok. In need of a bit of a makeover. Carpet stained in places. Toilet seat seemed to small for toilet and moved when you sat on it. Shower was good. Breakfast available and lots of choice. Staff very friendly and helpful.

A city hotel conveniently located for easy access to the Center. Reasonable pricing and very good value for money

Great for an overnight stay - room clean if a little tired. Convenient location 10 mins walk from town, lovely breakfast. Secure parking. Amazing value with Tesco vouchers!

There was a frequent knocking sound, which I think was something to do with the tank that fed the plumbing system, linked to people flushing the toilet I think, seemed go quieter when I shut the bathroom door. The was exceptionally clean and in very good condition. Some biscuits with the brewing up stuff would have been nice.

Hotel is within easy walking distance of most things in the city. Road noise overnight is quite bad - probably best to ask for a room facing racecourse rather than the road.

Parking was said to be included, but wasn't. Had to go to the hotel from the car park security to try and sort it out, only to find out my booking hadn't actually got to the hotel itself. After a 30 minute wait, I was offered an apology as the booking had been "stuck in the system". I asked about parking and was told it wasn't included and that I had to pay £10 per night! Eventually, the staff agreed to offer me that FOC as a gesture of goodwill due to the booking fiasco. I then had to go back to the parking security box and explain all this.

Very convenient for town centre and all other sightseeing experieces. Situated right on Race Course. Staff were all very helpful. Breakfast was good. We were in room 310 which was roadside and we found it quite noisy so we had to keep the window closed which made the room very hot which didnt make for a good nights sleep but on the whole ticked the box for our visit. Beware that the Hotel car park costs you £10.

Staff were friendly & helpful. Room needs updating but was clean. Breakfast was good & lots of options. But … there was a lot of noise all through the night, sounded like maybe lift cables banging, the bed was small and was very uncomfortable & the pillow especially so. Slept really badly both nights. Note that parking is £10 per night, not included as was shown in the details.

Stayed in a room overlooking the Racecourse which was a nice view, could also see the trains going by, thought they might be noisy but didnt get woke up by them. One thing we didnt like was the adjoining room doors as you could hear the people in the next room when checking in, luckily we didnt hear them at night which was good. Staff in the hotel were helpful & friendly.

Stayed in Hotel at least 6 times, now charged £10.00 for parking which was hidden in the small print, kept awake by adjoining room occupants until 3.00am, hotel security did their best to deal with noisy guests but ruined our nights stay, not sure we will return

Staff food and cleanliness was good. Unfortunately my son and his family stayed in room 228 next to the glass frontage of the building. His room was like a sauna. Absolutely unbearable. 3 fans and an open window did not help at all. His wife was going to go and sleep in the car because it was cooler. Unacceptable. Desk staff blamed the warm weather. When you walk up to second level the wall of heat just hits you. You cannot expect paying customers to sleep in these conditions. They had to take cold showers to cool down. Additional air conditioning during warmer weather may need to be considered in that part of the hotel. Nobody should have to sleep in that. Regards

Hotel looked abit drab and tired from outside, however pleasantly surprised as was nice and modern and clean looking from the inside. Night staff was brilliant!didnt get his name but was very infirmative about the area and things to do with baby and even took my babies bottles to sterilise (in microwave, as self sterlising bottles). We did actually ring before we arrived to ask if we could have them sterlisied within the hotel and were advised that it wouldnt be a problem. Was a little surprised when i asked for the same thing in the morning the staff said it was not allowed! They did however take my bottles to sterilise 'as a one off' Train going past was a little annoying, more so for my wife. Overall plesant stay, breakfast was good, location was also good. Would likely stay again

The location of the hotel is great. The staff are friendly and helpful. The parking is good. We were disappointed in the cleanliness of the hotel this time we visited. There were visible signs of dust in the bedroom.

Excellent location right next to the racecourse, our rooms had a view of the course. Our rooms were ready early so we were able to drop our bags in before heading to the races. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was really good next morning.

Used this hotel as a base for doing some tourist trips. Excellent quality from the staff to the beds, cleanliness and breakfast. The tea/coffee/juice downstairs in the evening was amazing. We overlooked the racecourse a lovely view. Only negative for us on a comfort level was the heat in the rooms. No air con and a little fan supplied. Made for a sweaty night's sleep but was definitely outweighed by the good.
