Modern and clean, free parking was a bonus. I didn't realise the rooms don’t have a view of the water, just the car park and the back of the bar/restaurant. Ground floor rooms were straight onto the car park and pathway, and with floor to ceiling windows there was little privacy as so we needed to keep the curtain closed, which limited natural light. It also meant people were constantly walking past, pulling suitcases, or getting in and out of their vehicles so there was a lot of noise. Really disappointed, the pictures don't make it obvious. Also the lighting in our room flickered. The radiator had a bright blue control panel that we couldn't turn off, so had to cover it (which didn't seem safe). A lot of noise from folks in other rooms using their bathrooms and dragging chairs on the floor. I really wanted to enjoy the stay; the bed was huge and room was well decorated and appointed, but it felt like a nicely decorated motel with how close you are to the car park with no view whatsoever.

I genuinely had an amazing stay at this location. Staff were so helpful and lovely. The room had everything we needed and we had a great quiet night sleep. The location was perfect, just outside of the hustle of Chester but all within a shot walking distance. The breakfast was a 10 out of 10
