Food acceptable. Most staff helpful, and room was clean.
Pros:

Location by canal was okay for a short walk.

Cons:

A little tired, greeted by a member of staff, obviously trained by Basil Fawlty!! Others were really nice, but this guy was hopeless

Very disappointing
Pros:

That it was located next to the canal; a very enjoyable walk into Chester

Cons:

Single bed was a small single. Given that it was very warm weather, the windows and curtains were left open; the very small room was stifling. The fan had been placed on a very high shelf; I had to find someone to take it down for me. It was very overpriced and not worth the cost. Had to wait an unacceptable length of time to be served with our meals (it was a family reunion). At one stage we thought that our order had not reached the kitchen; no apologies for the delay. Would not stay again

Nice staff, but I will not be advising anyone to book anything requiring party catering.
Cons:

My cousins had arranged for my aunts funeral wake at 2.30pm on Monday 13 July . It felt like you had forgotten about it. Insufficient sandwiches. no pudding (which my cousins had ordered). water jugs were not refilled. This was a disappointing end to my aunts life after 105 years. The staff were friendly and very helpful. But the catering for the wake was a sad disappointment.

A pleasant stay in a good location. The pub was very busy so it was noisy on occasions. The breakfasts were good. Plenty
Pros:

Spacious room with a nice big bathroom.
Comfy bed. Good location for visiting Chester. Plenty of parking and nice outdoor space. Good breakfasts.

Cons:

As with so many places now they limited the amount you could open your room window. As it was extremely hot while we were there that was an issue. There was a fan provided but it was only small.
