Pleasant
the room we were in was clean and spacious. The bathroom was nice and modern. Staff were great. Breakfast was high quality
the room we were in was clean, although it felt slightly dated. It was also quite cold and the bed was stupidly soft to the point of being very uncomfortable.

How close it is to the racetrack. Easy walk to shops and restaurants but, the thing that sets the Abode in Chester is the staff. I have never met a more kind, caring and loving staff anywhere in the world that I have stayed. My trip wasn’t an easy one with obstacles continually getting in my way and everyone was there to help and support me. I can’t thank them enough. Well done.
To no fault of the hotel the A/C broke during a heat wave. It was fixed as promptly as possible.

Location was excellent
Breakfast - you had to pay extra for full English breakfast why, for the price paid it should of been included. Hotel parking was expensive compared to Chester racecourse car park why. Bathroom curtains were covered in dust, you have to close the curtains so no one see you at night.

I really liked the view, and the bed was comfortable too.
The TV was really old, and since it wasn’t a smart TV, we couldn’t watch any movies on it, which was pretty disappointing. The bathroom extractor fan wasn’t working properly, so the whole room filled with steam. The ceiling was in poor condition, with visible water marks, and the paint above the shower was peeling. One of the pendant lights was also flickering.

Good location, 10/15 mins walk from all the essential parts of Chester. Good customer service listening to complaint of a friend listed below.
Not in anyway shape or form, worthy of four star quality rooms - not enough light (no ceiling light above the bed for example and the lights next to the bed offer little to nothing) no fridge in the room, mediocre Television. No sockets next to bed either, which is the first time I've ever seen that in a four star hotel. My own bed was just ok. As of February 2026 the revolving entrance door was not working. How long has it been like that I wonder... Likewise, The bar/lounge was not open for business. Car park is sincerely an utter joke - far too few spaces and the "overflow" was even smaller than an already small carpark. Nothing about "limited car parking space" (which would be an honest description) on this site so we had every right to assume that there would be enough space for every resident. The hotel charges an almighty 20 pounds for 24 hours access (which is twice and a bit more than the local Council owned space 5 mins walk away from the hotel) But if a hotel offers parking it should be able to provide it, no ifs nor buts. Friend stayed in the infamous room 102 which has a noisy generator all night - long reported by several other customers of the hotel - either not acted upon from the initial complaints (is what it seems to me) or that the work previously undertaken has not been successful and more is required. Didn't obviously have that issue myself as wasn't staying in that room but it's not good to hear about it and the general vibe (not working revolving door, no bar/lounge, car parking situation) makes me feel that the overall higher bosses just don't care. Building feels neglected, overall vibe of lethargy, and that because of the location people will continue to use the hotel and money will continue to be made regardless.

Property location is excellent, great parking facilities (worth the extra charge, lovely bar and breakfast was great!
WiFi & TV facilities in the room were very poor, WiFi was barely usable & mobile data reception on the inner rooms was non existent as a back up. Shower tray drainage could’ve been much better & boiler/heating went off during the night/morning

Hotel is comfortable and clean, staff are fairly pleasant
Breakfast was good but £17.50 each was a bit on the high side. Only one lift worked and it was a lottery getting to your floor if somebody else on a different floor wanted the lift.
