The best breakfast we’ve ever had in a hotel. The facilities were excellent. The communal areas had lovely artwork, sculptures and decoration. The restaurant was excellent too. We loved the local and how easy it was to walk into Chester - so we didn’t need to get in the car quite so often, which made the holiday more relaxing. The rooftop car parking was easily accessible from the hotel too.
The room was comfortably big enough for 4 people and we liked the large 55inch TV. Our only note - in our room - 307 - some of the wallpaper was peeling and the paint was a bit tired.

Lovely hotel in a great location. If it had a lick of paint and a new carpet here and there it would be even better. The staff were very willing to please and a small issue we had with our bathroom lock was fixed within 30 minutes of check in. Nice spa facilities - although more than 5 people in the pool would be crowded! Would return.
