Reviews
The room was very comfortable a great shower and plenty of storage space.
Breakfast was superb and cooked to orderr
Jeanie and Mark were very welcoming and helpful. Easy check in. Comfortable bed. Perfect for the local crown court.
Staff fabulous, food good. Overall 3.6/5.
WE had a brilliant short stay in Chester. We visited Liverpool by train and Nantwich by bus. The city centre and plenty of restaurants were all within a few minutes walk. The Golden Eagle was first class. The owner and staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. We are already thinking of another stay with them.
Amazing stay, breakfast was first class. Free parking after 3pm near to hotel, or PAYG within quarter mile
