Stayed here for two nights and were impressed with the room, the friendly staff and how easy it is to get into Chester in 10 minutes. My wife used the pool each morning and said it was lovely & clean, we didn't bother with breakfast so can't really comment on the food. We visited the bar in the evenings where there was a great atmosphere and the service was excellent. We would definitely stay here again.
