When we arrived there was only a hand towel in the bathroom, also a ight bulb had gone so very dark in the room. We couldn't ring reception, so had to walk down there. THe first two issues were rectified quickly, but the only answer got regarding the phone was that someone must have borrowed it and they would look into it. Also had to move furniture to plug in the hairdryer and see ourselves in the mirror. TV took 10 mins to warm up. Seating in restaurant was awful - very low compared to the tables. Also disappointing menu including a Quattro Fromagio pizza with only 3 cheeses - one was Edam - not a typical pizza cheese. Sadly the place needs some TLC and better management. OK if you get a cheap deal to stay there.

On arrival to reception we over heard a complaint that wasnt being handled discreetly and sounded like it hadnt been dealt with properly. The room was ok but it was cold. On returning back from an evening out we fou d the room still cold, no heating, the door handle on the inside was held on by 1 screw, and the bed lock holding the two beds together broken. I teied calling reception with no response. Wrnt diwn to reception to find a note saying night porter away from.desk use radio for attention. There was no instructions to use the radio. Night porter could only offer a small heater as fully booked which had to be left on all.night to keep the room warm which it wasnt designed to do. No offer of extra bedding. Spoke to the manager next morning who was professinal and dealt with the complaint as she should taking notes and apologising. On the plus side ahower was hit and breakfast ok but the standard of ths hotel needs to be better with some maintenance updating to fix some quite dangerous pdoblems

The room was clean, staff very friendly and helpful. I had room 7, not much of a view from window though, it looked straight out at the air vent for the kitchen so occasionally had cooking smells wafting into the room, other than that a pleasant stay.

Rooms and spa excellent. Food very good Service in restaurant a little disappointing. Young Indian girl was reluctant to seat 4 of us together. Then we were missing a table setting and then she filled our water glasses with a degree of impatience, spilling water on the table .

Room was shabby and in need of repainting and re carpeting, the walls and ceilings were so thin you could hear everyone moving around throughout the night- I could even hear bedsprings from the room above. Spa was ok but again in need of some tlc. Nowhere near worth the £170/night

Faulty Towers at Crabwall Manor

Faulty Towers springs to mind. Poor service, very unclean, stains on bed linen, damp on walls, feisty smell. Tried to book into the empty restaurant, only to be told that there was a 2 x hour wait. I had to drive into Chester to get food. Breakfast is as like a game of hide and seek to find the cooked food option. When complained I was given a better room but once again the furniture looked like it was out of a second hand shop and had no padding and the chair in the room was filthy. An absolute disgrace, please avoid at all costs!

First impressions room was very spacious. On closer inspection found mould on bathroom ceiling and tiling around shower dirty. Wifi in our room was hit and miss which was a bit of disappointment for the kids. Beds were comfy and we all slept well. Breakfast room was very dated and our table was wobbly, tables and chairs need renewing in my opinion. Overall though non of my niggles impacted our stay.
