Good location but comfort & food lacking
Hotel in a great location for Chester city centre, but lacking in several areas. The room had a King Size bed which was good but the under covers were to small and did not fit so made bed uncomfortable (see picture). We had made reservation at hotel to eat on both nights of our stay and menu had a good choice, we both ordered steaks and when they arrived were of a small size and clearly been cooked in the microwave which you can tell by the colour, were over cooked and had 'sears' lines' clearly added by touching a hot grill pan or similar. we mentioned this to the waiter who told us that they were using a lot more frozen food as it was cheaper and reducing the use of fresh ingredients to maintain profit margins and speed up cooking times etc. - not a good move. We cancelled the restaurant for the following night and ate in Chester centre, 5 mins walk. On checking out we the guy on reception asked if we had enjoyed our stay but did not listen to our reply as clearly he just expected us to say 'yes it was great' but he did hear us say 'your not listening' to which he replied I have an ear infection and can't hear! Why would you put an employee on reception that is a prime interface with your customers to check in/out if they can't hear properly? Overall a disappointing performance by Crowne Plaza Hotels on this occasion. On a good note the team in the Spa were excellent.

Good standard hotel, restful stay
Well appointed centrally located hotel. Great bar and reception staff, rooms are spacious and have all youll need. Pricing a little higher than expected. Parking, although easy is an additional cost. All note worthy as a business traveller
