Expert review of Holiday Inn Express at Chester Racecourse
A worthy budget chain hotel option, within the racecourse grounds.
There’s nothing out of the ordinary at this six-year-old chain hotel, except the views of Chester Racecourse that is. And while the racecourse view can only ever be requested, you’ve got a 50/50 chance of getting one (the other half of the hotel overlooks a main road and playing fields). I think that the low rates and worthwhile extras make this a good value alternative.
Location:
Good and bad. As the name suggests, you’re on the doorstep of the racecourse. There’s also a main road alongside the hotel, and train tracks behind it. The city centre is a 10-minute walk up a fairly easy ascent.
Bedrooms:
You don’t get character or charm, but you’ll find a decent standard of décor, plus the usual standards like tea and coffee making facilities, TV, desk, twin or double beds (plus the option of a sofa bed for kids/a third adult) and big brand toiletries like Dove.
