We found the hotel to be of a good standard.
Fairly good value for money, we did not have dinner in the hotel but the breakfast was of a good standard, (bread rolls were a bit stale but thats about it) and we were happy.

The room was great, room numbers a bit confusing though and not in order like you would expect, but all in all no complaints at all.

I stayed here for two nights on 3/4 Feb 2012. I found the rooms to be of a good standard and the staff more than helpful with regards anything we asked for. We had a problem with the iron in our room and a replacement was sent within 5 minutes of us phoning down. The hotel was under going some decoration, as there was a continued smell of fresh paint in the air whilst we were there, but after reading some reviews previous it would appear that the decoration was needed.I did find the hotel more than acceptable both for its appearance and the facilities provided.
Negative for the hotel was the thinness of the walls, you could hear most of what was said in the corridors or doors slamming. The prices of the bar I found to be on the high side also.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I drove up to the mercure hotel as from the outside it didn't give anything away but once I entered into the lobby of the hotel I was pleasantly suprised. The lobby was warm and the staff was very welcoming. Booking in was a nice experience because we were offered the use of the leisure facilities and asked if we would like to book a time that we would like our evening tea so we wodnt have to wait. The bedroom and bathroom was 5 star as it was very comfortable warm and relaxing to be in, the bedroom had everything we needed from kettle, cups, coffee, tv with radio and choice of films. The food at evening tea and breakfast was top quality and there was a great range of different food to choose from. The thing that made this stay worth while was the staff at the hotel. They made every effort in making our stay a comfortable stay, I was treated as if I was one of there family members with total respect but at the same time made me feel right at home. I take my hat off to the hotel and it's staff and want to say a big thank you for making my stay and my wifes stay a real enjoyable experience and will definitely return again and tell my family and friends of this most enjoyable experience

Decided to go somewere on a weekend with my partner as we had no work for 3 days,

Arrived in Chester with no hotel, just went to the library and booked this hotel due to the low cost and it having a pool and gym.

Overall an excellent weekend, the staff were very helpful, the rooms were comfortable.

We did not eat here as we like to eat out. so can not comment on that.

I would definatly recommend, and will probably be back in the future!

Cheers.
