Pros: fun themed hotel with great decor and fabulous breakfest I would call "continental plus". Most of hotel stafg was friendly. Cons: the entrance and bathroom in our room were freezing, while rest of the room was okay. Common areas were also cold (lobby thermostat read 66) The air handler in our room was incredibly loud as mentioned by other reviews. Finally, while everything was clean, most of the place looks worse for the wear. For example, our bathroom mirror had decorative peices missing from it and big scuff and scratch marks all over door frame like it hadn't had a deep clean or fresh coat of paint in way too long. Overall, I felt it was a quaint idea that lacked value for price.

The bed was comfy and the room seemed clean but there’s a couple things I didn’t like. One there wasn’t a microwave or refrigerator in the room. You would figure paying that much for one night those things would be in there. Two check out time is at 11 and the housekeeper came into my room at ten while we were still in there.

We love staying at this hotel. It’s quiet and clean. The atmosphere is so charming and the staff is very friendly. The breakfast was plenty for our needs. There is a decent gym and the lobby is a relaxing place to have coffee or play a game of chess. Great location near Forest Park. Parking can be a challenge after 5pm.

Lovely spot for a Christmas stay
We can out to visit our adult children for Christmas. The Cheshire felt cozy and Christmasy. The staff are wonderful. The hot breakfast was somewhat limited, but delicious. The beds were clean and comfortable. One thing to note, the bed frames stick out further than the mattresses, and are just waiting to crack your shin! A great stay overall!

It is a very nice hotel with English theme. Staff is very friendly. The breakfast is great. The restaurant in hotel is amazing. The neighborhood is nice. The only drawback is that the hotel room we stayed needs some maintenance: the fan was very noisy at night, and the bathtub needed some upgrade.
