A comfortable hotel to stay at in Chester. Close enough to the city centre to walk in passing various historical things. Convenient for the Christmas markets which was the purpose of our visit and close to many eateries.

Greeted by lady on Reception who was eating as she attempted to talk. She never gave a good review of Chester. We tried asking about an Uber taxi to take us to a Restaurant that we booked, said Uber was not operating in Chester. She also said only one taxi company operated in Chester. I booked an Uber (So not sure about her comment) Room was narrow and small for a double. Breakfast was terrible, bacon, sausage was overcooked and very tough! Scrambled eggs were like eating rubber, orange juice had a strange taste. Bread for toast was best of poor offering!

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.

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.

This was my 2nd stay at this hotel. The location is very good. Staff extremely friendly. Good parking though they’ve just introduced a parking charge of £10 per night. Good breakfast included in the stay as well as hot drinks available all day. I’d definitely stay here again.

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.

The hotel was beautifully clean and comfortable with a very nice breakfast buffet. But what really stood out was the staff who were so very cheerful, welcoming and helpful that it really was a highlight of our trip's accommodations. Lucy is a gem!

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
