Convenient for train station. Breakfast was extra to the room rate. A great pity Best Western have taken away the Victorian lounge area for the garish modern pictures. It is difficult for larger group to sit together .

Terrible service. Bad hotel

Stayed overnight. Messaged beforehand about early check-in, was told multiple times that I would receive a response but never did. Was repeatedly bombarded with upgrade offers. When I checked in, my toilet had feces all over the outside of the bowl. I complained, was told someone would be sent immediately. I said that I was in a rush, and asked how long it would be. They did not come. I asked for a new room. Noone contacted me, so I went to reception and had to demand one. Huge waste of time. Musty rooms. Stay at the Moxy instead.

The room we were allocated had a bathroom door that didn’t close. It was obvious that attempts had been made to plane something off the bottom of the door, the wood was splintered. The hinges however had several coats of paint on them, so the door had been there some time. I found this situation unacceptable especially for a 4 star hotel. The room should be out of use until the door is fixed. We told management when we went to breakfast and was told that maintenance had been contacted. On our return from our day in Chester about 4 pm , nothing had been done. We had to say this was unacceptable and after about 90 minutes we were finally offered a n alternative room. This was in the Kings part of the hotel and was quite a walk which as a disabled persons I was unable to manage. Eventually we were given an alternative which was fine, however my husband had to move all our belongings. We had a very comfortable night and went out for the day. When we returned about 5.30 our room hadn’t been serviced. My husband went down to reception to report this and spoke to a manager, a very nice gentleman came and made the bed with a clean sheet. The manager agreed our experience had not been great and gave us a discount. About 30 minutes later my husband went to make a coffee and this hadn’t been replenished. He went down to reception again and somebody came along to replenish the coffee etc and changed the towels. Overall this was a very disappointing experience.
