Excellent

Ideally placed, a short stroll along the canal into the city centre, great for the bus station. Our room was in the annex over the canal facing a busy road, it was a big room, comfy with tea/coffee toiletries etc.
We live on a fairly busy road so the noise didn't bother us, but if you want peace and quiet I'd suggest an upgrade to a canal facing room. Breakfast was good, a great selection. I would definitely stay here again.
Stayed at the Mill for one night this time. Going to Delemere forest to see a concert. Excellent location, walked to Chester bus exchange ,pre booked a bus to concert. As always staff very professional and friendly. Checked in went to concert, has a night cap when arrived back. Breakfast, varied and good standard
Friendly staff and very helpful . From was adequate little bit small compared to our friends in room next door . Felt very stuffy as a warm day . Overall lovely hotel will definitely return.

Good value hotel with the bonus of pool and spa. Great breakfast, friendly staff.
This hotel was great from start to finish , staff made you feel welcome , food was lovely and we had a canal view which was really different would request the same when we return . Very modern decor lovely carpets nice and clean T facilities biscuits a nice touch nothing to complain about whatsoever!
Staff were very helpful, especially Caroline at reception who was excellent & went out of her way to make sure our stay was enjoyable. Only let down would be the sausages at breakfast which were inedible as they were so rubbery but other than this I can’t fault them & would definitely stay again.

Food in restaurant is good but quite pricey. The extra we paid for a balcony with canal view was not worth the cost as you could only see the canal if you were stood up looking over the wall which enclosed the balcony
Cleaning was adequate but the balcony was never cleaned as a beer mat was on the floor when we arrived and still there when we left
The bedroom was restocked with tea coffee etc but the bed was not made and which I have never known before as I stay in hotels every week but this is not a major issue
All in all a pleasant stay for my birthday but rather expensive for what it is
I think you are paying for it’s location to the city more than anything else
Good location, nice hotel, friendly staff.
Very clean with good spa facilities.
Booked a balcony room, balcony ok but can't see the canal as stated in booking and the room was so hot through the night.
The room was on the 4th floor facing the busy flyover and our room was small, noisy and hot. We had to open window because of the heat but could not sleep because of the noise. Bar below on canal too noisy til 2am. Tinned fruit for breakfast and sausages terrible. Coffee bad at breakfast. Rooms facing back car park are larger and quieter. I asked for a quiet room.
