Stayed here for a long weekend. Room and public areas were always very clean. Pool was wonderful. Good size pool, Heated and open late which was a real plus.
Would go here again if in the area. Staff was helpful and friendly.
You have to watch for the entrance sign so you don't pass up the driveway. This made for a quiet place to stay.

Second time I stayed here this year. Four days in April, and ten days this time. First trip was very impressive and clean. Place is fairly clean, except for at the entrance and the carpets in the dining area. You have to go through a smoker's haven to get inside. You can't sit outside if you don't smoke, as both sides with chairs were set up with smokers in mind. No consideration at all for the people that do not smoke nor want to be around it.Very unappealing also, are the hundreds of cigarette butts throughout their landscaping even though they put receptables for the grossly discourteous smokers.

Food for breakfast is passable, but my wife and I noticed that the nice plates, real silverware, real glasses, and regular coffee cups we have been accustomed to at Carlson Inns were non existent for most of our stay. I found out that it looks like they use the styrofoam plates, plastic forks, plastic disposable cups, and regular salt and pepper shakers when they are not expecting an inspection from the Carlson Quality control folks. I found out they were expecdting an inspecttion and the real stuff showed up for a few days, then back to normal with the lesser desired items.

The other issue was the parking situation as their parking lot is full of very large CSX railroad vehicles. The day we arrived, just one of the CSX vehicles took up nine parking spaces. This morning there were at least close to ten of the railroad vehicles parked in the lot. If you come back in the evening it becomes very hard to even find a parking space in their lot.

The location suited our needs these two trips, and even though it looks like quality has declined a bit, we would probably use this facility again when we need to stay in this area..

The place is pretty nice as far as room space and comfortable bed. Front desk staff are very polite and helpful. The breakfast leaves much to be desired, as in somewhere else for breakfast. Do not park your car near grass on cutting day because it will be all over your vehicle. I had hair on shower wall for two days! It looked like an ape was taking a shower in it. No it was not mine. Tried to talk to housekeeping but they did not understand English.

We weren't sure we would be staying in Chester, but we were pretty sure. I checked the on line reviews and the rates with the 800 # and we liked what we saw. Our trip ended up putting us in Chester around check in time, so we decided to stop. We loved walking into this beautiful entryway, the clerk was very helpful, but then we found out the rate quoted on the internet was less than what she quoted us on site. We were told that the quoted rate thru the 800# was not always the same as the rate directly at the hotel. This didn't settle well with us, but we decided to stay anyways.
The room was very clean, the beds, pillows and chairs were super comfy. And the breakfast was perfect. If it wasn't for the rate difference, this would be a 5 star rating.
