Great stay, room was lovely and breakfast was plentiful despite us getting there late. Only thing I would say is having to pay for the parking outside because it’s classed as the racecourse was expensive and disappointing.

Perfect for a break in Chester
Great for a family stopover for a couple of nights. Very easy to walk into Chester and as we were in the racecourse facing rooms it was fairly quiet. Breakfast was great with a lot of choice including healthier options.

Christmas markets visit to Chester
A comfortable hotel to stay at in Chester. Close enough to the city centre to walk in passing various historical things. Convenient for the Christmas markets which was the purpose of our visit and close to many eateries.
