Comfortable, but needs an update
This hotel is in a good location not too far from the city centre, the hotel is a bit dated but the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The bathroom we had was again spacious but needs some modernisation along with other parts of the hotel. The staff are friendly and helpful and the bar and restaurant area are nice, we didn't have a meal other than breakfast which was nice and the choice is reasonable. We only stayed one night and bed was comfortable enough for that.

Very friendly convenient hotel
Super friendly family run hotel, with parking and a 20 minute walk into centre. It is dated, but good breakfast buffet / cooked options . The light bite menu was good value, but i found the curry too salty and not such good value.

I loved this Hotel. Very welcoming and friendly. I particularly liked the fact that the breakfast was freshly made to order and piping hot, no lukewarm buffet. Good evening meal options also. Within a mile to Chester town to walk or staff will call you a taxi. Will definitely return

A lovely independent hotel worth a visit.
I had a pleasant one night stay. It was clean and tidy, the shower was a little feeble but it did the job! Breakfast was very nice and the staff always willing to help. Would definitely stay again.
