Gordan ramsay needed

Booked this hotel as we were visiting chester zoo. We chose it as it had a pool & would be ideal as we have kids. The hotel phoned 10 mins after booking the room and we asked would we have full use of the pool when we got there. So we arrived to be told the pool was out of use for today even though we had a phone call 90 mins before telling us we had full use. The hotel looked clean but had a smell like and older persons house and the decor was still in the 1940s. We had a rubbish nights sleep as some kind of commotion was going on in the room next to us. We got the vibe this place put people up that had been evicted and had nowhere else to stay. The guy must have left the room a million times during the night and everytime the door slammed shut the full room shook and with the bed attatched to the connecting wall to his door the full bed shook like a bomb had gone off. Would not reccomend staying here as it would be cheaper and would probably get a better nights kip sleeping in your car. Breakfast wasnt worth the money also

Stayed here for 2 nights. We had room 8. Very large, spacious room. Some updating could be done, however, everything did the job. Pool was good size and had a small area for toddlers. Only complaint we had was the room was very hot. We stayed during the heatwave, so expected warm weather, but the only opening window was in the bathroom, and upon arrival the towel heater in the bathroom was switched on. If traveling with toddlers please check this, because it is extremely hot and can be a burn risk for little hands. Overall, would stay here again.

ROOMS IN MUCH NEED OF UPDATING

Friendly, helpful staff but don't seem to have many. First room we were given (Rm 14), the springs of the mattress were visible under the duvet!! Told the guy on Reception we wanted another room. Mattress was rock hard but no springs (Rm 70). No side lights or table lamps in this room. Shower was great. Quite large walk in shower & rainbiw shower. Tea, coffee, kettle in room. Very basic decor and very basic room. Evening meal was delicious and breakfast was full English, toast, cereals and fruit. Again, very nice. Just a shame about the rooms.

Stayed after a night at the races just to sleep basically. Hotel feels like it needs modernising; room although big was very dated with its furnishings and amenities. It was very hot that day and the aircon was non existent. I also forgot my shampoo and there wasn’t any provided that a lot of hotels do and the toilet had a very old fashioned handle that needed attention when it fell off! Other than that it was an ok bolthole to stay!
