Overall, the stay was good. The hotel has unique decor, fresh fruits, good breakfast, and fantastic coffee. The bed was comfortable. The room was not clean. I found several long black hair on the edge of the bathtub and the room’s baseboards were very dusty

The room was comfortable and we had the amenities we needed. It offered a generous breakfast every morning. Coffee and water were available at all times. The gym was clean and easily accessible. The pool was closed during our stay due to the season we traveled in. There was ample parking downstairs. The bar on site was really cute and the drinks were great. We were driving distance to a lot of things and it made it a great homebase. We would definitely stay here again.

The Cheshire is in a class by itself. The halls and sitting areas are so full of history and there’s an ambiance that we just love. Our suite, Treasure Island, was amazing! Large, clean, luxurious and cozy with a beautiful fireplace and large jacuzzi. We had a delicious dinner at the Basso, relaxed in the very British, cozy Fox & Hound, enjoyed a coffee at the Tudor styled Starbucks and as always, enjoyed breakfast beside the fireplace. We loved our stay!
