Great family city break

Chester is a fantastic city to visit especially with the children. Lots to see and do. We dod a family trail and learnt do much. The hotel was a great base, just across the road is a park and ride bus service that took you straight to the centre snd easy to pick up back to the hotel. Great to have the pool and restaurant service too the breakfast certainly filled us up for our days out.

Needs a lot of work doing.

Outside of property is dated and tired. Rotten wood and cordoned off areas.Inside hall ways the same. Foyer clean , today and looks like it’s recently been updated. Swimming pool was awful - paint peeling, lots of rust, not the cleanest. Breakfast was good with lots of choice, bedrooms were clean and comfortable

AE, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Check in was ok, the room was clean, the bed comfortable breakfast was good with nice staff. However the stay was let down by the bathroom which although clean. The shower screen on the bath didn't stay back, repeatedly coming in on you limiting the amount of room to shower in. The bath towels had marks on them that looked like they had been through several washes, Black/brown on one and yellow on the other.

Nice to stay and forget daily routine. Gym ,swimming , sauna, pick and choose. Our family really enjoyed.
Vaidas, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Generally very good after disappointing start.

Receptionist quite brusque when we checked in. Hotel room very warm as aircon seemed not to be working. Although a room fan had been provided. Gym and pool had already shut (8 p.m) when we arrived which we thought was little early. However, bar-staff and others around friendly and accommodating. Following morning gym/ pool staff very friendly and helpful and all said hello when passing in corridors. Breakfast was another very good experience with polite helpful staff and a great spread. No faults there at all.

Smarten up the hotel

First impressions were disappointing when arriving at the hotel. Bedroom was ok, bathroom nice, lovely white fluffy towels. The hotel appeared to have relatively new carpet but the place was dull, needed repainting, reception was cluttered, restaurant unappealing as was the pool. Breakfast was ok - certainly not worth £17 pp. Would not stay again.
Geoff, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

If you’re staying out of central Chester, this is a great place. Usual reliable Holiday Inn accommodation and fare. This one has a swimming pool. Great for summer.
Francis, 1-night trip

A bit of curates egg - good in parts

Good hotel let down by poor external appearance ( poor maintenance) and slow service in the restaurant. Clean and pleasant room . Modern bathroom comfy bed . Coffee was not good at breakfast . Reasonable tariff. I would stay again however
