Breakfast was good but food served at restaurant during dinner was not up to the standard, definitely not the value for money we spent, we ordered pizza and pasta and found it too expensive for the quality we were served, ready made dense pizza base, and the cheese quality wasn’t great.

Good hotel to stay and clean and spacious room. Staff and service is excellent. Onsite free parking and very close to retail parks and Cheshire Oak designer outlet. I would recommend hotel considering some destination chargers for EV. There are some within a short driving distance plus Chester services (10 mins drive) have a lot of fast chargers as well.
