We arrived and were allocated a room on the first floor, overlooking the front of the hotel.
As we put clothing away I noticed female underwear, socks and a corset clearly left within the drawer. I couldn't tell if these were dirty or not so closed the drawer and returned to reception.
In fairness, the reception clerk was apologetic and offered a replacement room. This was along the corridor and overlooking the kitchen fan, which although not really noisy did transmit low frequency humming throughout the night.
The hotel is tired, it appeared that this was previously a Premier Inn, same carpets and bedroom furniture. Our furniture was marked with a clear lacquer which had set solid on the surface top. Marks on the wallpaper etc only sought to add to the feeling of a tired hotel.
The only redeeming feature was the shower power which was next level, albeit the mould on the tiles and door was far from perfect.
Location wise, this is situated in a briliant area, close to the town centre.
We parked at Little Roodee car park, 10 min walk away. This is a council run parking lot and is very secure. For 3 nights, 4 days out cost us £33, great value.
We didn't breakfast here, £16 if you attend without booking, booking the previous day this drops to £13. However, nearby are some great cafes, Zanger and Marmalade, great value as well.
We loved Chester, great city and we will return. Next time we won't be going to Leonardo Chester, unless it is refurbished.
