I had booked an extra night, to make my traveling plans easier. But didn't know that I had to pay £10.00 a night for parking, so it made a good priced hotel, dearer.

Perfect for a break in Chester
Great for a family stopover for a couple of nights. Very easy to walk into Chester and as we were in the racecourse facing rooms it was fairly quiet. Breakfast was great with a lot of choice including healthier options.
