Dodcott cum Wilkesley accommodation from NZ$149

Really good Hotel, very central, very helpful staff, excellent inclusive breakfast. We were not happy with our room, which was noisy from traffic outside .Eventually we changed, albeit at an extra cost. All in all, would recommend

Lovely hotel everything what you needed was there for you.

The staff are a mix of fabulous and awful - some were so helpful and efficient and could not do enough but others were rather rude and snappy. The whole place needs a bit of TLC - wonderful beautiful building with some fabulous public rooms, statues and artwork but needs a good clean for example cobwebs and dust everywhere, chipped and peeling paint. The outside area is filthy - get a jetwash and clean it down - cushions on outside furniture yuck. The outside area in the second building near the function room had about 20 bags of dog poo in a bird bath and against a wall - no idea why but bit off putting to sit near. Bed was really comfortable and clean but lots cobwebs around windows and in wardrobe, coffee stains down the wall, two bulbs out in room, paper peeling off wall in big area. Breakfast was okay - very clean and tidy and cooked food looked great - the other areas ie fruit, cereals and bread/pastries not so great. Food from bar and restaurant was lovely and drinks were great - bar area really nice and great staff. This place could be fabulous but the manager/owners need to go and stay like a guest to see the issues - go round the hotel with a customer's eye and silly faults could be fixed. I would not stay here again as there are so many other options in Chester - real shame would love to see this hotel at its best.
