A lack of any space for clothing or to hang clothes, breakfast was disappointing and overpriced, and even though you are staying a few days, payment was expected at each meal.

2 night stay

Hotel has a very good location for proximity to Chester, Liverpool & Cheshire Oaks. The hotel is beside a very busy road day & night and this makes the room we stayed in very noisy. The receptionist at check in was very friendly & helpful. The room was clean & tidy just the low ceilings made it rather cramped.

I was on a course at Wrexham University and opted to stay just outside of Wrexham. Lovely little place. Spotlessly clean too. Lovely, friendly owners and a lovely bar meal had. The heating my in room was broken but was informed on check in and an alternative made available! Great!

Laura

I did not stay at the Rowton Poplars Hotel, after becoming ill, and needing to return home. In spite of repeated, diligent efforts to communicate with Expedia via email, phone, live chat, and text, none resulted in my ability to communicate with them, and cancel my stay in a timely way, so I paid for three nights at a fairly expensive hotel for nothing. I really do not understand how Expedia cannot make at least one form of communicating with them work, since guests are traveling 24/7, and may have difficulties with lodging, rental cars, and other aspects of their trips. Expedia was NOT there for me in ANY way, when I needed them. No links on their website to cancel my stay were functional.
