Tired, in need of total refit and staff upgrade.
Pros:

Centrally located, can walk everywhere. Parking next door.theoretically has all one may need…including gym and pool…theoretically = it is there but it is all tired, decadent, in need of a total refit

Cons:

Tired and in need of a refit. They put new large screen flat screen TVs and new soaps / shampoos…but that is lipstick on a pig. First it should be striped and rebuilt…with good quality material not syntactic carpets and furniture that generates HVOC and permanent chemicals gases from formaldehyde used in MDF or carpet glues. Staff is nice very nice, but somehow they selected staff not suited to a 4 star crown plaza hotel…it could ge staff you find on a low end roll on roll off ferry, not even a cruise ship, just to make an analogy: one guy has tatoos everywhere, speaks with a strong low class accent, one girl has the shirt bursting so tight it was steering the visible underwear. It is no joke: nice staff in terms of being kind abd trying their best but high end hotel school and presentation training is missing.

Pros:

Location was ideal.

Cons:

Old fashioned rooms, poor soundproofing. Charge for staying in hotel car park was more than if I had just stayed in the car park next door and was excessive. Hotel needs a complete refurbishment, outside and in.

Satisfactory but should have been better.
Pros:

Hotel is close to the main shopping area and the Cathedral. Nice, comfortable bar.

Cons:

Our room appeared to be clean, but the desk lamp had at least a fortnight’s worth of dust on the shade. Also, the grab rail on the bath was loose and seemed to be unsafe. The shower gel in the bathroom was empty. I didn’t bother mentioning this to staff as I had some with me, but to be completely empty it must not have been checked for several days.
The bar had no non-alcoholic drinks other than basic soft drinks.

We had a great stay. We used the spa services which were excellent. The location is excellent.
Pros:

Spa, location, staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The room could have been cleaner. The net curtains definitely need a wash. The room is probably in need of refurbishment.

A cool place to stay
Pros:

On what was the Hottest day in 20 years… the room was so so cool, a welcome respite from the heat. The staff did their best, given the wether and both me and my partner were grateful for this… the breakfast was nice, and balcony felt more like Spain than Chester.

Cons:

Some issues with check-in, but new room was ready in minutes.
