The staff were absolutely amazing- couldn't do enough for us.
A little disappointed they don't have facilities for evening meals but we managed ok with eating out.
You can order in and eat it there but please- don't use Deliveroo!!!

Modern, simple basic design..well equipped, clean….had parking. which was particularly important to me….very well located , within a few minutes walk of the city centre and next to the racecourse…if I return to Chester, I would say here.
Breakfast routine and layout reminded me of school canteen…food fairly basic, but adequate I guess…and was included in the price…(which I hadn’t appreciated….don’t think it was mentioned when booking)… but overall this isn’ a very serious criticism

Lovely stay, everyone is friendly and helpful, second time staying here. good gluten free options at breakfast, it was a bonus with having car parking facilities. location only 5 mins walk to centre.will definitely be returning again.
The room was warm at night.
The room needs better lighting near the long mirror.
8.0
Room comfortable - staff very pleasant - breakfast very good - would stay again.
Only problem was on Friday night - a group of young men were staying in the rooms by us (an annexe of 6 rooms) They came in at 2:15am with lots of slammimg doors and phone calls in the corridor- annoying!!

We were looked after on our wedding anniversary
The bed was not good, my husband fell out as there was no support from.the mattress

Location was good but there was quite a long hill to walk up to get into the centre. Some staff were very friendly others, shall I say, rather military. Room was good.
As above. Some staff rather military in behaviour. Breakfast OK. Not good for anyone with walking difficulties going into the centre of Chester.
9.0
Good parking, friendly cheerful staff. If you want to avoid the uphill walk to main sites on a short stay, the open top bus stops outside this hotel. Excellent breakfast. Be aware no restaurant, but plenty of local places to eat. Evening bar available.

Slept well,
Breakfast excellent - they just kept replenishing dishes as required.
So handy for town centre, walking to excellent tea shop and fudge shop in under 15 minutes.
No driving required and car in a safe, free car park on site.
Very clean.
Helpful staff.
Would have liked 'twin' beds instead of sofa made up. I slept well on it, BUT found it difficult to get in and out due to metal bars from the sofa mechanism which I had to climb over.

Clean and convenient
The usb ports in the wall sockets didn’t work and all the fittings in the shower were loose, so much so that a shower was virtually impossible as the shower head hung limp at the bottom of the bracket which was hanging loose from the wall.
The soap dispenser also was hanging off.
8.0
It was clean and tidy. The staff were both professional and approachable
The breakfast let it down somewhat. Not much choice. The bacon was to salty, the beans were cold, there was little in the way of prepared fruit that is always available in other hotels.
