The property is located on the edge of Chester which means excursions are easy without having to negotiate city traffic and Chester itself is a short bus ride away, with a bus stop right outside the hotel. The staff are very helpful and the food is excellent.

Good reasonable priced hotel
Whilst it’s an older building, the reception area and rooms have been renovated and feel welcoming and comfortable. The leisure facilities need work though, changing rooms and showers are fine but pool area and jacuzzi pretty tired looking though warm and enjoyable just don’t look up at paint falling off the roof and the rusting rails.

Nobody Cares
The hotel is falling apart and nobody seems to care. Tha air conditioning in our room didn’t work and it was a waste of time reporting it as nobody cared. The phones didn’t work but reporting it was a a waste of time as nobody cared. There didn’t seem to be a Manager of the hotel and staff seemed to be all casual employees who didn’t care. Property badly needs renovation. Roof leaks, paint peeling off the doors. Restaurant service takes over an hour for a meal to arrive. Not worthy of the Holiday Inn name.

The hotel is very well placed for the express way to Holyhead, but being about 3 miles out of town, rather isolated. The staff were excellent, the rooms clean and the small gym very welcome. The park & ride is a short, but not pleasant walk.
