    nearby attractions

    Had an awesome stay with friends! We explored nearby attractions like the stunning Victorian mansion and Chester Zoo, which was a hit with everyone. The hotel location is perfect for making day trips. Free parking was a lifesaver too, especially when you're out chasing adventures.

    great shower pressure
    poor air conditioning
    slight warmth

    The room was spacious and very clean, making it quite comfortable. The bed was nice to sleep on, and the whole place felt fresh. I really appreciated the great shower pressure. Air conditioning could’ve been better though—definitely felt a bit warm at times. But honestly, no major complaints!

    Finally stayed at this hotel & the breakfast was amazing! Made my mornings feel like a feast, got to dig into a plate of baked beans and a big sausage every day, I mean, who can complain about that?

    6.0

    With no air conditioning, the rooms can get uncomfortably hot, especially during peak summer months, despite portable fans being provided. The furnishings in the room are a bit dated, with reports of uncomfortable beds and poor quality mattress springs on the sofa bed. Some areas, like the dining area, feel a bit institutional with a school cafeteria ambiance and can lack appeal for a more relaxed breakfast experience. There's a smell of bleach that's off-putting upon entering the room, which may not sit well with everyone.

    Great stay with lovely views

    We recently stayed for 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our time! The room was spacious and offered a fantastic view of the racecourse, which was a lovely touch. The breakfast spread was impressive, featuring a variety of fresh items to start the day. Although the air conditioning could be more effective, overall our experience was delightful.
