Overall the staff were friendly and helpful
Personally couldn’t fault our stay at the Holiday Inn
The bed was super comfy, the breakfast was really good and the staff were the happiest and friendliest that we have ever come across in a hotel. Thank you everyone for making our stay so relaxed and enjoyable
Staff couldn't do enough for us, especially Marc who looked after us in the restaurant. Pool was great for the kids, beds were comfy and even fans in the room which is what we needed in this heat.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Brady at Reception was very helpful in giving us ideas as to what we could do in Chester and to catch the bus in. Breakfast was very good.
Excellent stay as was visiting Chester Zoo. With 2 children we were able to use the pool facilities. We ate at the hotel which was great but we also ventured out to nearby places all within easy reach!!! Rooms were clean and comfortable.
Great stay. Hotel looks run down outside but the inside is great and looks to have been done up. Staff lovely and friendly, food great and everything you need in the room.
Stayed here for two nights and were impressed with the room, the friendly staff and how easy it is to get into Chester in 10 minutes. My wife used the pool each morning and said it was lovely & clean, we didn't bother with breakfast so can't really comment on the food. We visited the bar in the evenings where there was a great atmosphere and the service was excellent. We would definitely stay here again.
We had a great stay at the Holiday Inn, Chester. The staff were friendly, service excellent. It represented great value for money. My only criticism would be that the outside of the building lets it down. Everything else was great.
