"A really lovely hotel - a bit of a time capsule but immaculately kept and well presented. The staff are all super friendly and go out of their way to help. We spent a couple of nights very comfortably, and the swimming pool and gym are really well maintained and well equipped. We visited for Chester Zoo, which is super close and easy to get to from the hotel. Overall we had a fantastic trip and I would recommend the Brook Mollington if you’re looking for a comfortable hotel in Chester."
