A pleasant conveniently placed hotel, and as can be expected from Holiday Inn, the accommodation is comfortable and clean. If you’re dining in the dining room / bar area and want a steak, make sure to order it blue if you like your steaks underdone. My go to choice when working outside central Chester.

Just got back from a lovely few days. The outside of the property is run down but the areas that matter are lovely. The breakfast was really nice and the pool was an added bonus. Room was lovely and clean. Like the addition of a fridge in the room. Will definitely return when visiting Chester again. Thank you

Great for a visit to Chester.

The room and inside of the hotel were fab. It was very comfortable and clean. Don’t be put off by a dated exterior. The inside is lovely, staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast buffet was good quality - no complaints. The park and ride is right next door for an easy trip into Chester. We had a happy stay.

If you’re out of the central Chester city area, this is a really convenient place to stay. Just be warned, the nearby roundabout on the A55 gets clogged at rush hour in a number of directions. Just leave for work early! The establishment is pleasant, clean, and the staff will do what they can if there’s a problem. Example: on my first check in, Expedia had stopped sending bookings across. I’d only booked an hour before. I was given a bar voucher and told they’d call me as soon as the problem was solved. The on-site pool and gym is also a nice feature. So far, six weeks of two nights each week proves my usual criterion: would I stay here again. I’m just about to book my seventh week!
