Poor cleanliness

The Hotel location is great. However the room was very poor. It was dirty with cobwebs and dust. The carpet was badly stained. The usb sockets (2) for I phone charging did not work. Some staff are friendly, others not so. Very hit and miss as to who you deal with. Will not return.

Sealed windows meant totally dependent on air conditioning that didn’t work properly. In the heavy temperatures this made for a very uncomfortable nights sleep.

Poor hotel in need of major refurb

Room was roasting hot (no air con), room was dirty and dusty, bathroom was tiny and to open the shower/bath glass door you had to squeeze by the toilet. Windows only partially open.

Tired hotel

The staff were good, but young. This is an older hotel and it is bound to have a few tatty edges. I had a lovely time there but in my heart knew this was a declining set up. A McDonalds chip lay on the floor in the lift at the beginning of my 7 day stay. It was still there when I left. Breakfasts were nice.

Will do for a cheap overnighter

Check in was great as I was able to do this earlier than normal and the staff were friendly. The room however, whilst comfortable, was quite dated in places and needs attention. Cracked and broken tiles in the bathroom and a hot water tap that was not connected properly.

A tired hotel that is badly in need of investment. Do not stay there. I travel a lot for business [2-3 times a month] and have never stayed in a worse place. Staff were great hotel was a disaster.

Bali

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Extremely poor service, reception rarely manned, dated rooms in desperate need of refurbishment. Rooms not cleaned whilst staying and towels had to be requested. As for breakfast this was a total joke, items missing from breakfast as they ran out early and attitude of the restaurant staff was disgraceful. On raising the complaint to receptionist, it was talking to a brick wall, no acknowledgment of the issues we raised. Definitely won’t be staying here again.

Super convenient for the centre of Chester

Nice hotel, good value, nice and clean, seemed slightly understaffed with bar being closed and reception occasionally manned. Comfortable bed, reasonable wifi and clean and good shower once I’d worked out how to get hot water.

Our 2 night stay was good, reception staff nuce and friendly, room was ok. However our breakfast experience ruined our stay. Waited 10 mins to see a member of staff before being seated and was met with a sarcastic rude little blonde, the food when it arrived was inedible and other areas fruits and jams were all empty. Didn't complain as never saw staff again. I complained to reception and they refunded my breakfast for both days as i refused to eat there again. We went to Morrisons on the way to the zoo and the breakfast was like a la carte compared to the Hotels. Wont be staying there again.
