The stay for us was adequate, we thought it overpriced, the outside didnt look the best upkept however the inside of the hotel was a lot better but does require some decoration. We had an evening meal which was good, the breakfast was very good, the staff were very polite & professional but seemed to be understaffed. All in all a pleasing stay.

Really lovely hotel, staff are wonderful and helpful. Only a slight issue with some cleanliness, couple of cobwebs found and some dust in places but didn't put me off. Swimming pool is the warmest pool I've ever been in, it was gorgeous! Overall a lovely stay and we will be returning.

Hotel Mercure went the extra mile to accommodate our need for a ground floor room for our disabled dog. All communications were prompt and courteous, and when we checked on the staff couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. This all helped ease the issues of travelling with a beloved disabled pet and we really appreciated all they did for us. Would definitely recommend them, and definitely stay there again should we return to Chester.
