Thank you for taking the time to review your recent visit to The Mill Hotel & Spa.Thank you for your comment regarding not having the room you requested. If we have rooms available, we do quite often offer complimentary upgrades. Could this have been the case? We would never downgrade a room, as we always have to offer a similar grade of above. Should you feel you need to discuss this further, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Fabulous hotel. 10 minutes walk from Chester centre. Stayed in Business king room which appeared to have been recently refurbished. Very clean and comfortable. Ate in the restaurant both nights - food very good. The staff were without exception EXCELLENT. Nothing was too much trouble. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. Thank you for a perfect stay.

The staff were super apart from the room cleaner. I had spoken via email & telephone regarding parking. Never at any time did it get mentioned that parking is £7.50 a night....even with a Blue Badge. The restaurant provided good food in a nicely laid out decor. Unfortunately the hotel over sells its water frontage being on a very grubby canal. Our room had a very noisy a/c unit & due to it being on sixth floor the windows were limited to opening hence very stuffy. Our room was poorly cleaned & replenished. Dirty cubs no cleaned & dirty glasses left. No glass or plastic beaker in bathroom for rinsing after cleaning teeth. An ok place for 2 nights & handy for city centre

We like the location & also the amenities, Although we couldn’t use them at the present circumstances. We also enjoyed the service at breakfast time being waited on. We love the nice craft beers that’s available at the bar. Nothing we didn’t like.
