I tend to use the holiday inn express chain quite a lot for work as I always find they are pretty good value and certainly of a higher standard than the usual premier inns and travel lodges... This hotel was no exception. Good price, great location, clean and well sized rooms. Free parking too which is always a bonus. Also... More

I booked this Hotel for a group who were singing at Chester Cathedral. We were given a fair price which included free parking and the Holiday Inn Express breakfast which now includes a hot albeit limited buffet. Nevertheless it was perfectly adequate. The staff were all polite and helpful. The winning factor was the location an easy 10 minute uphill... More

Mu mum and i stayed here last year as it had ample parking and offered a breakfast and a great location for shopping. Its an OK hotel - nothing fancy, just your basic room, clean and tidy. A bit noisey so didn't sleep well. The breakfast was little ropey but you can just walk into chester and get something there.... More

Good Holiday Inn Express which, according to the notice in reception, is operated by the racecourse as a franchise. Located on the edge of the centre of Chester and it is certainly possible to walk into town. Rooms are clean and functional. Bathrooms contain only a shower with no baths as per other HI Expresses. The HI Express continental breakfast... More
