Hotéis em Eccleston

The expression 'it is what it is' is oft used these days and seems made for Holiday Inns, Travelodges, Premier Inns etc. The general gist being, you get what you pay for; don't stay in a budget hotel and expect premium. To be honest, the hotel was absolutely fine. Yes it's a bit rough around the edges and the rooms were old and worn, however it's location is very good and the breakfast was surprisingly enjoyable. I probably wouldn't have bothered writing a review were it not for the pool. This was actually one of the main reason we booked the hotel; it was one night away with the kids and the bonus of having a pool always keeps them happy. The warning signs were there in the changing rooms which looked iffy but when you dip your toe in the pool and it's a pleasurable warm, you dismiss the worries. That is until you ease yourself into the pool, look into the water and realise the deep blue colour is actually caused by the amount of dirt floating in the pool. I raised my hand out of the water at one point to wave at my family and had several strands of hair (not my own) hanging off it. Have you seen the remake of National Lampoons Vacation when they accidentally go swimming in a cesspool. Ok ok I'm exaggerating but you get the point. I don't know whether the filter wasn't working properly - I know nothing about pool maintenance - but in my experience I feel it shouldn't be difficult to make pool water cleaner than that. As we all agreed, I could have handled swimming in cleaner colder water so Holiday Inn please turn down the temperature and what money you save, spend it on cleaning up the pool.

Booking was somewhat painful as I tried to book online and it wouldn't confirm. Emailed hotel and never received a reply so rebooked. Location is adjaent to race course and just 5 minutes walk to everything Chester has to offer. Good parking facilities. Check in was very easy after 2pm. We had a room on 3rd floor which was very clean and warm. There was traffic noise from outside but that is to be expected. Tea/coffee making facilities in room. No iron but we had our own with us. Good breakfast in morning with something for everyone. We have stayed in other Holiday Inn in Chester and this is by far the best in terms of location, cleanliness and favric of the building

We parked in the Grosvenor shopping centre (£10 for 24hrs) walked through the mall to the hotel. Modern, fresh design reception and nicely decorated bar and restaurant. Quick check in, clean room, comfortable beds. Waitress Lelde was spot on and gave excellent service. Limited menu with our Secret Escape deal but adequate for the price we paid. Room a little hot/stuffy as we couldn't open the window, but it did have AC we could have probably played around with. Breakfast had a hot buffet and a selection of cereal and bagels, bread and pastries. Small little containers of over night oats and fresh cut fruit containers were really nice. Drinks machines dispenses the usual latte etc or another had fresh juices. I didn't see any decafe options though. Hotel was spot on, although Chester high street has gone down hill. Lots of boarded up shops. The shops remaining are jewellery shops, cafes or a few clothes shop. Shame there lacks the independent original shops that tourist love to look around for something different. Would recommend if we had to visit the city again and I'm quite a fussy traveller!

We got this on a deal so it was reduced slightly from £246 to £232.70 (two people in separate rooms for three nights), but even the full price would have been great value. Spacious, really comfortable beds, great range of TV channels, great location. Pretty much everything you could ask for. The only minor issue is that my mother's room got too warm at night. But in fairness, a fan was provided and she used this to help cool it down before going to bed.

When we arrived at the Grosvenor palm court for our Sunday carvery they had messed up our timings on our booking so our table wasn’t ready for us. We had booked for 7pm however they had us down for 7:30pm and the women who greeted us(I think she was the manager) made us feel as though it was our fault, so we showed our email saying it was 7pm when she then eventually apologised. She said to sit on the sofas nearby whilst they tried to sort something out, and she said they would come and take a drinks order, however no one came to take our order and we were sat waiting. Eventually they found a table for us near the carvery which was fine, but a bit out of the atmosphere. When seated, no one came over to us to take a drinks order for a long time or to order any food. When our drinks order was taken and finally arrived, the waiter spilt a whole pint of beer over one of our guests, soaking the chair and his shirt. The waiter was very apologetic and thanked us for making a joke of the situation and promised to take the drinks off the bill. We then had to ask what to do about the roast, and whether to go and help ourselves etc. or to wait for a plate to come to us as no one explained this to us. The food was nice, perhaps the veg a bit cold but overall it was a lovely meal. During this time the service was shocking, no one asked us for anymore drinks, no one asked if we were happy with the meal, no one asked if we wanted the bill etc. when we went up to pay the bill there were no drinks taken off it. We questioned whether to raise this or not but we did. This was where we were told by our waiter that the manager didn’t “see the situation in the same light” and didn’t think it was worthy of any drinks being removed despite a drink being poured all over one of us. Then, when raised with the manager (we think) she was so rude, she came over saying how would they know to take any money off the bill, despite this being a different comment to previously. And she then said “what do you want removing” and “I don’t know what you want us to do” and “I’m not removing everything because only 1 of ten of you got a drink spilt on them!” This was so embarrassing as people around us listened in, and was extremely rude of a manager especially. Overall what they took off didn’t even cover the service charge which we later noticed they had the cheek to keep on the bill!

If on occasion you visit Wales and for some reason you go to Wrexham; One of the best hotels you can find is perhaps the Rossett Hall. The staff is wonderful, very friendly and always attentive to your needs. They have an attached restaurant that you will surely like. I 100% recommend that you make your reservation including the Breakfast service, because it is wonderful! As for its location, it is essential that you take a taxi from the central station and buses, because, although you can take a bus to get there, the journey is very long since the bus makes too many stops. Without a doubt, if you are a traveler who appreciates silence and tranquility, this hotel is undoubtedly for you!

Just returned from a two day stay at the hotel with work. This hotel is centrally located next to the railway station. A typical hotel that caters for coach tours and corporate types. My room was on the ground floor of the main building. First of all the room was average and basic. Not serviced over two days either? Rubber bath mat was mouldy and dirty on the bottom. Window would not open either. The main issue was the strong smell of cannabis in the corridor that was a constant throughout my stay. In addition the room next door had a noisy room party as it was full of some Eastern European workers. Went quiet after midnight however. Would not recommend this hotel unless your on a budget. Premier inns are far superior in my opinion. Food and drink : Beer in the bar “real ale” was rank ! Food was ok but service was slow two hours for a two course meal to be gotten through. Breakfast was good though. Staff were polite throughout. Car parking is expensive £15 per night and not very secure.

What a great place to visit Chester from. We got in early to guarantee a good on-site parking place, and were then met by the most pleasant receptionist. The room (a Smart Studio) was delightful, spacious, clean and modern. The bathroom was excellent and we were very pleased to see and use the walk-in shower. The bed was very comfortable, too. The excellent location meant that we walked into the city centre within 5 minutes, but we were far enough away not to be disturbed by late night revellers from the pubs and clubs. Although we were initially concerned at hearing the hourly bell chimes from the racecourse, we needn't have worried, they end at 11pm. The 'quick grab' breakfast suited us fine, not being great fans of the 'full english' breakfast anyway. With so many good eating places within easy reach there was no need to use the excellent cooking facilities. Overall, we couldn't recommend it highly enough. Just what we wanted and at a great price.

I came to visit family in Chester and chose this hotel as it was close to the train station and a nice walk into Chester. I love the modern look of this hotel, the under bed auto light was brilliant for night time bath room trip no need to turn on the lights. The black out curtains do there job really well I almost over slept, the staff were very helpful when i asked them for help. i will stay here again next time i visit the family

The hotel location was amazing, 2 minutes walk from the station, about 5 minutes to the city.Every other day we requested to have our room cleaned but all they did was change the towels and filled up the coffee bar. Never cleaned the bathroom or changed the beddings. The room was located on the 3th floor where was not lift from the 2nd floor. We had to deal with the cigarette smells coming from the room next to ours. Kept on complaining about but no changes. The breakfast and dinner was good, staff was very friendly and always welcoming you with a smile.
