“What strikes me is its unapologetic devotion to rock music, a theme that reverberates from the decor-replica guitars and music memorabilia-to its support of live events, a commitment underscored by its on-site tattoo studio, a bold statement of community and personal expression. I think the à la carte breakfast, with choices like eggs benedict, is worth waking up for, setting the tone for a day exploring Chester, which, being just a short walk away, makes it very convenient. It's a surprisingly engaging place, this inn, not just a stay but an experience.”

fantastic stay
cute staff tasty sandwich
the staff were very cute, hospitable, courteous and obliging. lunchtime food included a tasty sandwich with fries and coleslaw. breakfast offered a broad choice, delivered promptly to all guests (it was really good).
the bathroom toilet had tape wrapped around the cistern inlet pipe. a towel underneath to absorb leaking water. ceiling wallpaper in the bathroom was loose. tiles on the bath allowed water to seep behind.

Decent Location, Disappointing Room Condition
cracked tiles loud music
The location is excellent for getting around. (It really made exploring convenient.)
The room showed its age with some clear signs of wear. The bathroom tiles were cracked, and there was mold near the shower. the noise from the bar downstairs went on until very late and made it hard to sleep.

The breakfast buffet offered a wide selection, with fresh pastries and a variety of hot dishes. I found it quite satisfying. The hotel's location allowed easy access to nearby restaurants and shops. I appreciated the convenience. I also noticed the room had two separate sinks. This made getting ready in the morning much easier. I found the complimentary toiletries to be of good quality. They added a nice touch to my stay.
The music from the bar was audible until late in the evening. I heard it slightly in my room.
