"Excellent breakfast. Good location for a short stroll into Chester centre. BUT too noisy. At side of a busy railway line, lots of other noises from racecourse equipment. Had to keep windows open to keep cool but then couldn’t sleep because of noise."
"Lovely hotel in cute location alongside the canal. Parking was easy. Hotel is lovely but in need of an update. Decor is outdated. However, hotel is clean and looked after. Room was comfortable and we were lucky to have a balcony overlooking the canal. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good but not as much choice as other hotels. Chester City Centre is a short walk along the canal. Would recommend and stay again."
