One of the better Holiday Inn Express hotels. ideally situated for Chester centre. Clean, comfortable and value for money. The breakfast offerings are always fresh and varied, which is excellent for a continental breakfast buffet. Bar stays open late if that is one of your requirements, although it's a little pricey.

We stayed on Friday/Saturday for roman day races. Check in was very efficient and we got a lovely room overlooking the race course. Breakfast was a bit chaotic but staff were trying hard as it was rather busy. Hot items on offer were sausage, scrambled egg and beans - no bacon? Room was fine, although door slamming from other guests... More

Wife and I stayed overnight as I was running in the Chester Half Marathon the following day. Staff were friendly and check in was easy. Rooms comfortable, shower powerful and had a peaceful night's sleep. Breakfast was okay. Car parking next to the hotel was ideal as the race started from the racecourse next to the hotel.

This was a two night stay at the Express Inn which is on the racecourse, and if like us you get a room over looking the racecourse you will have a great veiw. Chester town as lots to do and see with good restaurants,watering holes and loads of shops. You also have Cheshire Oaks and Chester Zoo near by.

We booked four rooms at this hotel so the family could attend an event at the racecourse. We've stayed a lot recently at the Holiday Inn in Media City so were quite pleased to find there was a Holiday Inn adjacent to the venue. The rooms were quite small, which was really disappointing in comparison to other Holiday Inns. The... More

The HI Express is located directly on the site of the Chester racecourse separated from the course by a car park, which can be used by hotel guests. It is a short walk into the town centre and a narrow path alongside the railway viaduct leads down to the river beyond the course. The hotel rooms are basic with no... More

Nice, big, and quiet room (at the back of the hotel, overlooking the racecourse). Excellent bed and pillows, we only slept really weill, including our 1-year-old baby. Clean and modern bathroom. Very quick and helpful staff. You are right at the centre of the town and you can find good food nearby. The only thing I would complain about is... More
