"Cleaners need a shout out it was without a doubt the most spotless room I've ever stayed in."
"Literally a hundred metres from the racecourse, with ample car parking, another bonus is that a less than five minute walk gets you to the City wall/ centre."
"Our stay was wonderful, clean and bright room with a window you can open and the beds were so comfortable."

“The hotel's location next to Chester Racecourse is certainly a draw, placing guests within a short walk of the city center. I think the inclusion of free hot drinks around the clock is a particularly thoughtful touch for both business and leisure travelers. While some visitors noted inconsistent room upkeep, the friendly staff and convenient access to Chester's attractions still make it a solid choice.”

The staff were friendly and eager to help, they answered all our questions with a smile. Breakfast included good and tasty choices. It was great that coffee and drinks were available throughout the day. Our room was well-kept while we were away, a plus.
I noticed the vending machine wasn't working. It was a little inconvenient when I wanted a snack.
