Repeat customer, stayed here without any issue multiple times. Breakfast is particularly good which is one of my reasons for booking. Stayed on 20 July at a cost of £175.
The room provided was beyond disgusting. The carpet was stained throughout, the rug by the bed was covered in some sort of red substance. Not vacuumed, either. The sort of Travellodge-type place you'd wipe your feet on the way out. I thought I'd relax with a drink from the mini bar... To find that caked in dirt and grime on it, on top of it, by the side of it.
Reported to reception, who were sympathetic, who suggested it was the issue of the outsourced cleaning team. The problems in this room were not caused by one guest, it's clear the hotel management don't check these rooms often.
I had agreed a refund, but days later I learn I have been given... £66 back.
Advice: There are plenty of fantastic hotels in Chester. Don't be fooled by the fake five stars of this one - your money would be better spent elsewhere.
