Breakfast was good and the staff polite and helpful. The hotel is well located. The Holiday Inn room booking process is poor. A standard room means allocation of either twin or double on arrival, as I discovered on arrival to my room and with no option to change or cancel. Specifically requested a double but allocated a twin for three nights. Chester has many hotels and had I realised this was likely, I would have booked elsewhere. I stay in hotels 45 nights for year and have done for 35 years or so. This is the first time this has happened to me.

The hotel was beautifully clean and comfortable with a very nice breakfast buffet. But what really stood out was the staff who were so very cheerful, welcoming and helpful that it really was a highlight of our trip's accommodations. Lucy is a gem!

Review of room in Holiday Inn Express Chester
Staff food and cleanliness was good. Unfortunately my son and his family stayed in room 228 next to the glass frontage of the building. His room was like a sauna. Absolutely unbearable. 3 fans and an open window did not help at all. His wife was going to go and sleep in the car because it was cooler. Unacceptable. Desk staff blamed the warm weather. When you walk up to second level the wall of heat just hits you. You cannot expect paying customers to sleep in these conditions. They had to take cold showers to cool down. Additional air conditioning during warmer weather may need to be considered in that part of the hotel. Nobody should have to sleep in that. Regards

Plesant stay with baby
Hotel looked abit drab and tired from outside, however pleasantly surprised as was nice and modern and clean looking from the inside. Night staff was brilliant!didnt get his name but was very infirmative about the area and things to do with baby and even took my babies bottles to sterilise (in microwave, as self sterlising bottles). We did actually ring before we arrived to ask if we could have them sterlisied within the hotel and were advised that it wouldnt be a problem. Was a little surprised when i asked for the same thing in the morning the staff said it was not allowed! They did however take my bottles to sterilise 'as a one off' Train going past was a little annoying, more so for my wife. Overall plesant stay, breakfast was good, location was also good. Would likely stay again

The window was open when we arrived which was a blessing in the mini heatwave. A fan was also provided in our room. The complimentary parking was also an added bonus.
