Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Had issues upon check-in. I wasnt promised the room i booked, although i called them directly to request the room and also called to confirm the room prior to arrival. The staff through-out had no idea what customer experience is about and sadly we felt like the fault is ours and not theirs and get treated like 3rd class citizens. I will at least leave this as a positive- the check-out was the best part of the experience. I will never stay at any Abode, but the one Chester was just pure C.R.A.P !!! Abode management- train your staff in customer experience !!!

Always stay here when in Chester because of the location and great breakfast. Unfortunately breakfast not up to usual standard but the staff dealt with it promptly. Also room had a drainsge smell when we arrived but the receptionist dealt with it promptly and gave us a free upgrade and a courtesy drink at the bar. Don't remember her name but very impressed

Reception staff were lovely. Room 317 was a bit tired looking but not bad for the money we paid. Bathroom was clean and spacious. It was Saturday night and we were asked to leave the brasserie at 10.50pm as it was closed which was disappointing as it was a lovely relaxing area.

The room was awful spoke to receptionist who was lovely but they couldn’t move us till day after as the hotel was full so we had to put up with a generator working all night behind a door in the room. Breakfast was cold ordered toast with it it never came even though we told the server we ordered toast still waiting for her to bring it to the table they did move us rooms so we did get a lovely quiet sleep the 2nd night I have stayed here before and had a wonderful time was a little disappointed this time The staff are lovely very helpful and polite The hotel itself could do with a make over if you look closely it’s not as clean as it was things look tired, shower tray edges not very clean curtains stained

Arrived at the hotel, the front door was inoperative, therefore had to use the side door. Checked in via the desk, the one of the two lifts were not working. Arrived at the room, to find that it was dusty and the bedside shelves were not clean/had marks on them. We were advised that we had been upgraded to a room overlooking the racecourse, but this out us next to two major roads. We were in Room 315 which meant that through the night, as could just hear the main road. As a bonus, next door could be heard snoring. Therefore overall a terrible night sleep.
