Fijn hotel als je Chester wil bezoeken
Pros:

Mooie ruime hotelkamer. Prima uitvalsbasis voor een bezoek aan de mooie binnenstad van Chester. Goed ontbijt, maar helaas weinig keuze in brood en beleg voor mensen die geen Engels ontbijt willen.

Cons:

Nice stay apart from heat in room.
Pros:

Love the hotel. Great Spa and Bar.

Cons:

No air con and room located next to noisy plant on roof so you couldn’t open window. Seemed a bit overpriced compared to what we have paid here in the past.

Ok
Pros:

Staff and hotel generally

Cons:

The en-suite in my room was poor. The WC was jammed in a recess with very poor access. The shower was extremely poor. Low water pressure, impossible to adjust the water temperature adequately and poor mounting to the wall. The shower head fell off several times.

The Mill Hotel is decent.
Pros:

The location of the hotel is great. The leisure facilities are very good too.

Cons:

The room was uncomfortably warm despite the outside temperatures not being too high. It may have been due to the room being above the swimming pool and spa. The sofa bed in the bedroom was badly marked and dirty. The bedroom and bathroom is okay, but in need of an upgrade, as their tired looking,

Great stay, would return.
Pros:

Friendly staff, great location, really clean, bed was really comfortable. The shower/TV were easy enough to use. It was actually my girlfriend's first time staying in a hotel room, she probably thinks most hotels are so nice now.

Breakfast selection was decent, and there was a good atmosphere.

Thank-you for a really great trip.

Cons:

Nothing to complain about.

We didn't have time to use the spa/pool etc, so can't comment on those directly.

Excellent and the spa facilities topped off the birthday celebrations before we checked-out
Pros:

We checked in late after a photoshoot and had a couple of drinks beforehand, so we really appreciated the outstanding service from the hotel staff. Two members of the team kindly helped my partner and me with our luggage to our room, which was greatly appreciated. The front desk staff were incredibly patient, friendly, and professional, making us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived.

Breakfast was exceptional, with a great selection and excellent quality.

Cons:
