We came to visit Chester and the Hotel Manager- didn’t catch his name sorry but he welcomed us with warmth and made our stay special, checking with us whether everything was alright with our stay, he had some veggie sausages especially made for us for breakfast, The place is very convenient if you are visiting Chester, short drive into the city. We did the City Walls as suggested by the Manager, which covered pretty much the city followed by beautiful scenery.

The room windows overlooked a stairwell with rubbish at the bottom of it. The curtains were threaded and mouldy stains on and wouldn’t close properly as not on runners properly. We were phoned the day before to be told as they had a function on we couldn’t dine in the hotel that night. We travelled with our 10 year old son and went there at 8pm to go to our family room. We found out it was directly above the functions and when we phoned about this to reception due to loud noise from disco told would finish around 10pm. It didn’t finish at 10 and we were not able to get to sleep until nearly 12. The rooms are basic and furniture is outdated and very worn.

Photos are misleading. The main entrance looks like a 1970 council building, tired, old and dirty. Over night a large concreate mound appear. Rooms were tired with very cheap Dunlem fixtures. No glasses in the room, but this is likely to be a safety issue. Room was fair too warm. Opening the window wasn't an option as the noise coming from the car park was loud until 430 in the morning. The car parking lighting was on until 5AM so our bedroom was lit until then and the cheap and nasty black up curtains where not fit for purpose. The bathroom fan would not turn off, solution found for this. I made a massive mistake booking this hotel at £120 per night, it was worth a £10 and I would have enjoyed sleeping in my car. The noise from the other rooms was off the hook and I had the waste night sleep in over 10 years. It is easier to sleep on a Ryanair flight to Benidom stag weekend. The restaurant was close due to a wedding and there were a number of Christmas parties taking place. To be fair I did receive a phone call the day before advising me of this and upon arrival. Check in took 20 mins as the staff had to deal with a number of room booking issues. I wish now that they had turned me away so I could rebooked someone else. The only positive feedback was the staff who were great and all deserve to work in a better hotel. How they do this day in day out I have no idea. The owners need to look after their people and try new revenue schemes. Please do not stay here

Booked for 2 nights as local to Chester zoo & outside of city centre. Travelling alone with young child. The corridor to our room distinctly smelt of cannabis clearly coming from one of the rooms, I did not raise this as felt this was strong enough for the hotel staff to recognise themselves. We had our evening meal on 1st night in the restaurant, the food was not great for the price, and had to move as we were initially seated under a dripping conservatory overhead window. The bar area next to the restaurant was loud and felt rough. I did not feel safe in this environment with my child. We went back to our room but did not sleep due to paper thin walls and the noise being unbearable due to drunken rumblings, banging and music from the room above and a child screaming throughout the night from the same room, understandably. Additionally the mattress had a hole in it the size of a small football. At 6am I raised my concerns with staff and were given a different room for night 2. We had ordered room service for breakfast, this never arrived. We were subsequently offered a complimentary breakfast for the 2nd morning however due to our unsettling experience in the restaurant for our evening meal on the first night I did not wish to put my child in that same environment again and checked out at the earliest opportunity. During our stay it was made known to me that this hotel is a halfway house for local council waiting list and is widely known locally for this. Awful experience.

The whole hotel is in really poor condition. The room was tired and not very clean. Everything is poorly maintained and fusty smelling. The pool had some sort of plastic floor and the water was a weird green colour. The changing room floor is slimy and unclean. Didn't try the food - given the general vibe we thought it safer to eat in town. Generally it just all felt very shabby and not worth the price. Would not recommend and will not be back.

Gordan ramsay needed

Booked this hotel as we were visiting chester zoo. We chose it as it had a pool & would be ideal as we have kids. The hotel phoned 10 mins after booking the room and we asked would we have full use of the pool when we got there. So we arrived to be told the pool was out of use for today even though we had a phone call 90 mins before telling us we had full use. The hotel looked clean but had a smell like and older persons house and the decor was still in the 1940s. We had a rubbish nights sleep as some kind of commotion was going on in the room next to us. We got the vibe this place put people up that had been evicted and had nowhere else to stay. The guy must have left the room a million times during the night and everytime the door slammed shut the full room shook and with the bed attatched to the connecting wall to his door the full bed shook like a bomb had gone off. Would not reccomend staying here as it would be cheaper and would probably get a better nights kip sleeping in your car. Breakfast wasnt worth the money also
