I noted the on-site Starbucks and diverse dining options that create a relaxing atmosphere.

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests frequently appreciate the surprisingly spacious rooms, often equipped with amenities like a sofa and mini-fridge, and some rooms also have internet TV. Many enjoy the on-site facilities, particularly the well-equipped gym and swimming pool, making it easy to visit places outside of Chester with the park and ride so close to the hotel. Some guests have occasionally experienced longer-than-expected waits for service in the bar area; however, most find the hotel provides good value, especially with the included breakfast.

I enjoyed access to a pool, a jacuzzi and a steam room. The changing rooms are very spacious. The restaurant area, along with its outdoor space, felt nice. Breakfast had a good spread to start the day, it filled me up before my outings.
I did notice a small stain on one of the towels, but the room was otherwise very clean.
