2 night stay

Hotel has a very good location for proximity to Chester, Liverpool & Cheshire Oaks. The hotel is beside a very busy road day & night and this makes the room we stayed in very noisy. The receptionist at check in was very friendly & helpful. The room was clean & tidy just the low ceilings made it rather cramped.

I was on a course at Wrexham University and opted to stay just outside of Wrexham. Lovely little place. Spotlessly clean too. Lovely, friendly owners and a lovely bar meal had. The heating my in room was broken but was informed on check in and an alternative made available! Great!

The hotel was very clean good standards. All the staff very friendly and gave excellent service. We didn't eat evening meal but they looked very nice but we did eat the breakfast which was excellent and there was to much for me too eat. They used high standards of product and everything looked home cooked well done will definitely be returning when back in the area.

Outstanding overnighter for a day at Chester Races

Stayed at Rowton Poplars for the night whilst visiting Chester Races. This is a beautiful little hotel with very high standards. Accommodated an early check in for me. Bedroom was comfortable and clean. Good selection for breakfast. I only had the sausage and egg muffin but it was very high quality and delicious. I can highly recommend this hotel for anyone needing a couple of nights to use as a good base for Chester.

Steer clear of the annex!

Apparently checkbin closes at 8pm so I was already stressed when I arrived with 10 minutes to spare having been stuck in a traffic jam on the M62, losing an hour of time. I was shown to the annex room A1 which was small, but adequate (no desk for business use). Tea and coffee provided and a small TV. Room was freezing cold as the heating would t turn on. 10pm decided to have a shower. No cold water, just scalding water from shower head. Gave up and went to clean my teeth...no cold water, so had to clean my teeth with hot water. This also meant there was no water to flush the toilet either. The ear plugs left by the bed were a tell tale sign of a noisy night, so I popped those in. Bed was comfy enough but I was woken by the bed shaking every time a truck went past and I could still hear traffic despite the ear plugs as the window let's in all the sound. I could also hear every time someone used the outside door as it banged. I have had an apology from the hotel for the water as apparently someone turned off the cold water to the room while plumbing work was done and it wasn't turned back on, but it doesn't help that during a business trip I couldn't shower. I won't be using them again sadly.
