First stay at the Days Hotel Chester North and my first stay in Chester.
Check in was very quick, nice friendly welcome from reception. Rooms are spacious for a couple. Bedroom was very clean and modern with LCD television on the wall with a few sky channels. Tea/coffee making facilities included but not much milk so we could only have one cup of tea each. The bathroom was very modern and the shower worked fine. Few minor problems with the bathroom was the cleanliness as there were hairs all over the shower head which there from a previous guests visit.
We ate at the hotel. Food tasted nice however I found it a little too expensive for what it was. Steak tasted excellent but was almost £14.00 for the cheapest option. Drinks a little expensive also but plenty of choice at the bar.
Please be aware the hotel is a short ride of about 15 mins in the car from Chester city centre.
There is an Irish pub opposite where we went for a few drinks. Was quite busy as it was a Saturday night but a nice atmosphere and drinks were cheaper than at the hotel. I am pretty sure this pub serves hot food but didn't eat here.
We visited Chester Zoo which was a great day out and I would recommend it to anyone. There are a large number of different animals and they are in large enclosures so it does not make you feel uncomfortable in terms of seeing animals 'caged up'.
We also visited Chester which is a very beautiful city. Plenty of choice for a great day out shopping.
Overall I feel the hotel is a good option in terms of value. There are a few minor problems which I feel could be sorted by the hotel, in terms of the price of food and cleanliness of the rooms.
