My recent stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of Chester, making it easy to explore the area. I was really impressed by the cleanliness and the large breakfast variety. However, the room I stayed in felt a bit outdated, and while the staff was friendly, I did face a few issues that took away from the overall experience.

Our stay at Crowne Plaza was memorable with its contemporary decor and engaging staff. The breakfast was exceptional, but the shower pressure in our room could use improvement. The location was a huge plus as it allowed easy access to many attractions. Overall, the hotel is a great choice for anyone visiting the area, just be sure to double-check any parking fees.

I had a nice trip to Chester, overall appreciating the hotel's friendly staff and centrally located position. However, I was a bit concerned about the entrance area and accessibility to the accommodation floors, which felt a little insecure. The room itself showed signs of wear and could use some attention, particularly in cleanliness and maintenance. The breakfast options were limited for vegans, making that aspect somewhat disappointing.
