Room....window lock was faulty, marks on the table, lamps offered usb connection but didnt work, wifi was terrible.felt like we was in a completely different hotel right at the end of a corridor next to the road. Room was to warm even though there wasnt any radiator on but couldn't open the window due to traffic noise. Staff....breakfast needs improving, coffee was cold, the lady that brought it over spilt the milk, didnt apologised or wipe it up, a coffee machine would be better in my opinion, asked for another coffee and had to wait 10 minutes and had to ask where it was. Toast was made for you but because it was just there it was cold and hard, Never used the amenities only there for two nights. Wouldn't stay again

The location of this hotel was fantastic, a short 10 minute walk into the centre. The hotel and room however was a little dated and our twin room could have done with a refurb. The food for breakfast was lovely with friendly service and the hotel pool and spa was a welcome addition and well kept. For the price we paid it was a very good central hotel and a good base for exploring Chester.

The room was clean and a reasonable size considering it had both a double and a single in it. The staff were very friendly. My only issue was the bathroom. The water pressure was poor and the shower head over the bath was very low, as pipes had been boxed in.
