Pros:

Room was clean and location was spot on.

Cons:

The extra I paid for breakfast was disappointing, continental,but if you wanted something like an extra orange juice, you're talking a £3.95 charge🤔

Chaotic, challenging but the best staff I have ever dealt with in my many years of international travel.
Pros:

How close it is to the racetrack. Easy walk to shops and restaurants but, the thing that sets the Abode in Chester is the staff. I have never met a more kind, caring and loving staff anywhere in the world that I have stayed. My trip wasn’t an easy one with obstacles continually getting in my way and everyone was there to help and support me. I can’t thank them enough. Well done.

Cons:

To no fault of the hotel the A/C broke during a heat wave. It was fixed as promptly as possible.

Stay at Abode Chester.
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and helpful in every way nothing was to much of an effort for them.

Cons:

Didn't like that there was not enough pillows and there wasn't any spare pillows in the room, good that we saw the house keeping staff and asked them for more pillows and they left extra pillows in our room.

Don't bother with breakfast
Pros:

Room clean and spacious

Cons:

The breakfast was poor. Waiter rude when asked what was included. Poor selection. Save some money and go and have breakfast in the numerous city cafe that are independent and lovely
