A pleasant conveniently placed hotel, and as can be expected from Holiday Inn, the accommodation is comfortable and clean. If you’re dining in the dining room / bar area and want a steak, make sure to order it blue if you like your steaks underdone. My go to choice when working outside central Chester.

Clean room staff friendly, the best buffet breakfast of any hotel we have stayed in. Great for kids because gym and swimming pool. The only let down was air conditioning not working and the room was stifling, we asked for a fan there was none left, but a lady overheard us at reception and said we could have hers even brought it to the room for us, or we’d have had to have a room change, or another hotel ( we are in our 70s both with breathing problems C.O.P.D and asthma. So a good hotel let down by the air conditioning, you can’t have that in a heatwave.

We booked a room for 5 and we only had enough beds for 4. We queried this with reception and an additonal folding bed was brought to us. Sadly it was very uncomfortable and the mattress was so thin. The aircon was also not working and it extremely hot that night- rubbish night sleep :(

we were offered a room with a work station and the room didnt have any space even though the room was massive -the sofa was in the wrong place and blocked the whole table - no chair and the tv took up the whole of the work station and mirror... when raised with the reception staff she told us that she would just refund the money and we could leave?!! and stay somewhere else even though we were 200 miles from home and it was 7 at night
