Breakfast was good and the staff polite and helpful. The hotel is well located. The Holiday Inn room booking process is poor. A standard room means allocation of either twin or double on arrival, as I discovered on arrival to my room and with no option to change or cancel. Specifically requested a double but allocated a twin for three nights. Chester has many hotels and had I realised this was likely, I would have booked elsewhere. I stay in hotels 45 nights for year and have done for 35 years or so. This is the first time this has happened to me.

The hotel was beautifully clean and comfortable with a very nice breakfast buffet. But what really stood out was the staff who were so very cheerful, welcoming and helpful that it really was a highlight of our trip's accommodations. Lucy is a gem!

Plesant stay with baby
Hotel looked abit drab and tired from outside, however pleasantly surprised as was nice and modern and clean looking from the inside. Night staff was brilliant!didnt get his name but was very infirmative about the area and things to do with baby and even took my babies bottles to sterilise (in microwave, as self sterlising bottles). We did actually ring before we arrived to ask if we could have them sterlisied within the hotel and were advised that it wouldnt be a problem. Was a little surprised when i asked for the same thing in the morning the staff said it was not allowed! They did however take my bottles to sterilise 'as a one off' Train going past was a little annoying, more so for my wife. Overall plesant stay, breakfast was good, location was also good. Would likely stay again

Excellent location right next to the racecourse, our rooms had a view of the course. Our rooms were ready early so we were able to drop our bags in before heading to the races. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was really good next morning.
