“Not great, but not terrible”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 March 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Got three nights for the price of 2 on some website, and that's the only thing that makes it worth what was paid. Sure, it was clean enough, (once you discount the manky pair of y-fronts in the drawer), and the breakfast was good (not great mind, but good enough), but I would associate this type of hotel with an American Motel 6 rather than a B&B. We had an outside door, and the duvet was one of those thin polyester ones. Sure, the room was warm, but the mattress wasn't great and the towels were cheap. Ok, so it's not awful, just cheap. Glad we got the deal, cause otherwise it wouldn't have been worth it. Location a bit of a hike into town, but quiet and safe. Could be much much worse.

My wife and I had a two night stay here. The room was clean and spacious. The breakfast was freshly cooked and the staff were friendly and went out of their way to see to our needs

“Rude staff!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 November 2010

Well i didn't even get past the call to reception to enquire about a roon for a meeting. The receptionist was just plane rude from the first hello to just putting the phone down.
Don't even bother with this one there's some really nice hotels in Chester with friendly welcoming staff. Manager take note Thursday 18th Nov early afternnon.

“very disappointing, not clean and very poor service.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

We arrived just before 9pm Friday and was told by the receptionist she would be leaving in 15 minutes. The residents bar looked to be a fridge with cans in which was run by the reception (difficult as there was no one there after 9). Room was basic and you could plainly hear the voices people next door. Floorboards in room above constantly creaked which prevented a good nights sleep. Two rusty nails on the back of the bathroom door presumably were robe hangers. Room was cleaned and our bars of chocolate disappeared? Did they think it was just rubbish in the carrier bag? Why would you remove carrier bags from anyone's room? Breakfast was served, cooked, cleared away by one lady - she also had to run the reception on this morning!! Breakfast was good, which is the only positive I have for this hotel. No signs of life on Saturday night so presumably you couldn't get either food or drink if this was required! Fan in the toilet was thick with dust, doubt it had been cleaned in years. Bathroom fan didn't work. On our second day we were left 2 bath towels, no hand towels and no foot mat. Very, very disappointed and would have liked to complain if there had been anyone about to complain to!
