Craxton not out of the Woods
Good location for Chester & surrounding area.
Hotel is tired looking in places, and service was sloppy at times.
Spacious room,.dimmer was ok, and breakfast was plentiful with a £5 supplement on all cooked food with the exception of the English Breakfast.
At £99 b&b it was good calue for money.

Beds are horrendous
The beds need attention, the mattresses are worn out and the toppers can’t compensate. This was the second time staying here and both times the beds have been abysmal!
Other than that the decor is dated but doesn’t have an impact on anything really.. the service is good as are the onsite facilities

Too expensive
Filthy hotel
Crack in my sink and leaking
Booked doulble bed got 2 singles
Carpets old very old in fact,
Decorations in rooms are late 70s early 80s in my opinion.
Grounds are nice
Very expensive menu for what it is.
Breakfast is £24 over priced again. In my opinion.
No nets up at windows, so walking out of bathroom into room. Children’s play area outside in garden. Not a good idea.

Staff were polite and helpful.
