Don’t stay here - many other Chester options
Booked a single room, yes it was very small but bed wasn’t even long enough. It was like it was cut to fit in a space Tv on wall at foot of bed, so ended up kicking it all night. Windows were filthy, hadn’t been cleaned outside for years, and inside for months No plug near bed, Bathroom furniture chipped and water pressure useless. Overall this was a 1 or 2 star hotel at most

Tired hotel
Very tired hotel in need of refurbishment! I specifically asked for a quiet room in advance and there music playing through the night. When I was asked about my stay the receptionist basically told me I was wrong! Such a shame as it is in a good location but I would never stay there again!

Disappointing
While most of the staff were extremely helpful, there was one particularly rude woman serving breakfast. Rather shocked to find only instant coffee available - did not expect to have to provide our own coffee when we paid separately for what was apparently an 'award winning' breakfast. Will be unlikely to stay in a Macdonald hotel again.

Macdonald Motel
When we arrived on Thursday night we were informed their Restaurant was no longer open of an evening and breakfast was only served between 7.30 and 09.00. The bar is apparently closed on a Thursday evening although not mentioned on there website. Thats why in my opinion this is closer to a motel than a hotel

The hotel was ideal for our stay in Chester. It was reasonably priced and the staff were helpful and friendly. However, we had paid for breakfast and assumed that it would include fresh coffee. We were given instant coffee, which was put into cafetières and palmed off as fresh coffee. This was unacceptable. When we questioned it, we were told they had no fresh coffee. This was the case throughout out our stay and we were forced to buy our own coffee. Not acceptable.

The hotel was in a great location, close enough for shopping, dining and nightlife. Although the room was clean, as in bedding and bathroom, the room itself was very tired and in need of updating. It served its purpose of a last minute overnight stay, but probably wouldn’t stay again at that price while its in its current state. Staff were polite and friendly.
