Hotel is in a great location for Chester city centre, hotel looking a bit tired now could do with some renovation. We stayed in a Superior room but don’t know what was superior about it. Didn’t get any information from the receptionist just basically given our room key. Had to phone reception to ask for the WiFi details. Drinks in the bar lounge are very expensive
