Rooms and spa excellent. Food very good Service in restaurant a little disappointing. Young Indian girl was reluctant to seat 4 of us together. Then we were missing a table setting and then she filled our water glasses with a degree of impatience, spilling water on the table .

Room was shabby and in need of repainting and re carpeting, the walls and ceilings were so thin you could hear everyone moving around throughout the night- I could even hear bedsprings from the room above. Spa was ok but again in need of some tlc. Nowhere near worth the £170/night

Faulty Towers at Crabwall Manor

Faulty Towers springs to mind. Poor service, very unclean, stains on bed linen, damp on walls, feisty smell. Tried to book into the empty restaurant, only to be told that there was a 2 x hour wait. I had to drive into Chester to get food. Breakfast is as like a game of hide and seek to find the cooked food option. When complained I was given a better room but once again the furniture looked like it was out of a second hand shop and had no padding and the chair in the room was filthy. An absolute disgrace, please avoid at all costs!

First impressions room was very spacious. On closer inspection found mould on bathroom ceiling and tiling around shower dirty. Wifi in our room was hit and miss which was a bit of disappointment for the kids. Beds were comfy and we all slept well. Breakfast room was very dated and our table was wobbly, tables and chairs need renewing in my opinion. Overall though non of my niggles impacted our stay.

Nice hotel with spacious room. The spa and gym need updating. Unfortunately the service was generally poor. The staff are not very well trained and don’t offer to look into anything if they don’t know the answer. More specific training and general customer service training would help to improve the service.

The hotel/health spa was well maintained and clean. The staff seemed stressed which reflected in the approach to guests. The unfortunately was right next to a fire door to the corridor to where our room was, it banged all night with other guests that where shouting and letting the fire door dang shut. So a good night's sleep didn't happen.

Nice venue, gym a little tired but I understand new equipment is on its way. Service in the restaurant and bar was poor. Multiple people waiting 15+mins to pay for their meal or order drinks. I gave up waiting and went to the bar. I was kept up till midnight by a group socialising under my room. Then building work began at about 1am in the room below mine. Impossible to sleep through so went to reception ask for it to stop or to be moved to a different room. This was not an option so I went and asked the workmen to stop. I will not be back.

We had a superior room which was spacious with a huge bathroom (separate bath and shower). Because of its position, overlooking an enclosed garden, and at the end of a corridor, it was very quiet. There is no lift so cases had to be carried upstairs. Several areas of hallway carpet are stained and worn. The bed was very large and comfortable but the room lacked some amenities, e.g. a fridge, adequate lighting over mirrors in the bedroom, coffee and tea but no biscuits. Dinner was served in a strange, small and noisy (because of other guests in a group of six who became louder as the evening wore on) restaurant. Our table was perfect for 2 except that the chairs were easy chairs, not dining chairs, so the table was too high to eat at comfortably. Moving would have put us next to the noisy table! Service was not good and I spoke to duty manager in the morning to explain what the service lacked, i.e. prompt attention, a menu to share (not one each!), no wine list without asking, no smiles or friendliness from staff, lack of knowledge about menu choice, etc. The food itself was hot and fine, albeit expensive). Breakfast was served in a different dining room which was better equipped in terms of tables, chairs at appropriate heights, etc. The pool facilities are a little in need of maintenance too; sections missing in jacuzzi surround, for example. Some lockers don't work as the locks are broken. Mine, once locked, wouldn't open again post swim so a member of staff helped.
