Served a purpose for the trip
Pros:

Location.

Cons:

Road noise and vibrations in front room when HGV passed which was very frequent all night long.
Shower was very slippy with inadequate mat and had shower curtains which flapped onto you when showering. The room had a very overpowering synthetic smell coming from the carpet. Breakfast was limited.

Great for a few nights stay in Chester
Pros:

It was very hot during our stay and there was a fan in the room. The duvet was nice and lightweight and as our room had an external door, we could open it in the evening to cool the room down.

La gentillesse et la serviabilitedu personnel. Avoir sur place un restaurant indien excellent et un bon petit déjeuner (non inclus)
Lit très confortable.
Parfait pour une étape d'une nuit.

Cons:

Rien qui ne soit dû aux équipements, mais la chaleur était suffocante. Heureusement on nous a fourni un ventilateur.
