6/10 Good

Booked last minute and although booked a double room on arrival was told they only had twin rooms which was disappointing and if we had known we would have booked elsewhere. Location is good for the centre and the racecourse - was noisy in the morning as the racecourse was clearing out after a days racing.

Easy car parking, great friendly welcome at reception and real good value for money accommodation for the price we paid. A little tired in places but that would not stop me staying again given what I've said.

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel, well positioned right next to the racecourse and only 10 / 15 minutes walk to the town centre. Rooms well maintained, bed very comfortable and towels changed daily even though we only stayed two nights. Secure car park next to the hotel at £12 per night. Breakfast absolutely delicious with a decent choice of food. Will definitely choose this hotel again when we decide we want a short break in Chester.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent location and very nice reception staff. The only criticism is that the rooms were too hot. Hotels need to rethink how they can cope with the hot nights that have become a feature of climate change in this country.

It was helpful to park right next to the hotel, easy to come and go. Hotel was clean, our room overlooked the race course. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and the breakfast is good.

Located a little outside the town with limited public transport options. Room was comfortable but lacking AC, though a fan was provided. Leaving a window open wasn't an option as a busy road ran alongside the premises.

Modern standard room with comfortable bed and in a great location. 5 mins walk from the city centre. Staff very pleasant with a decent breakfast choice and quality. Parking at £10 per day is reasonable as it is so close to city centre.

Perfect location for a weekend visit to explore Chester or attend the races. The hotel was quiet and staff were very welcoming. The room had everything you could possibly need. The walk into Chester took only five minutes & it was closer still to start walking the city walls. Car parking and security was excellent. Would thoroughly recommend.

Really friendly staff, great location by the racecourse. Breakfast as you would expect - they even brought the veggie sausages right to me so great service! Only issue were finishing touches to the room, I.e. dusty curtains and previously used milk pot by the kettle.
