We were in room 242 for 2 nights and never have we known a room so hot. In the bathroom, even the our toothpaste was unpleasantly warm in the tube. How is anyone supposed to sleep in that heat. When we mentioned it at reception, the only response was that they cannot do anything as it is caused by the hot water pipes under the floor. We accept that the ongoing "tired" nature of the rooms will benefit from the refurbishment, but if the hotel is continuing to do business something must be done about the temperature in the rooms.

having read other reviews it seems the hotel is undertaking a refurb of the hotel so if you are thinking about booking this hotel then give them a call and ask if they have any rooms that have been refurbished.The location and free parking are the positives and the reason we booked the hotel - I wasn't expecting anything special for ¿¿55, the room was clean, the staff were friendly but the room was very shabby and unbearably hot even though it wasn't that warm outside! If you are a light sleeper don't even consider booking this - the A61 is virtually outside the hotel and traffic noise was loud - we had to have the windows open as the room was so hot so I can't see any way around this unless they install aircon. The room was very poorly decorated, wallpaper peeling off, holes in the doors, very worn carpet, old uncomfortable bed, tv falling apart and only able to view BBC1.......If you have the cash and are wanting a nice getaway book somewhere else, if you just need a cheap base close to town to lay your head - give it a try

Great location opposite the train station. Well appointed rooms with great comfortable beds. Checked in very late however this was not a problem as 24 hour front desk. Requested a quiet room with bath and this exactly what we received. Great Spa and the breakfast was superb. Had the best bacon ever and was able to get name of the supplier from staff who were extremely smart in appearance and very attentive. Well done to all. Will stay here again when next in the area. A real traditional hotel which may at one time been an old Midland Railway establishment.

We stayed here because it was very inexpensive and where we wanted to be.What a treat. My room was big enough to turn the Lusitania around in and very comfy.Superb bath and 6 straws of coffee (how many times do you get one???).Yes, it is a bit old and threadbare in spots, but so what? It is an old hotel, but it is clean, comfy and the service is great and it has bags of character and free car parking (getting less and less common in city-centre hotels). If you want glitz, book a Hilton.Didn't sample the food etc because they had a Prom on when we arrived, so we thought best avoided. Didn't notice any noise from it.The health spa was also very good indeed.Quite probably the best value hotel I have stayed at in the last several years.

We got married on the 12th and as a surprise we had been booked a room at The Chesterfield Hotel to stay in. We checked in and although we knew it wasn't going to be an overly expensive room we were expecting something a bit better than we got!! We were put in room 503, which to say it is in need of refurbishment is an understatement, it is situated out of the way of other rooms on the 2nd floor (it felt like we could have been staying in servant quarters ) even from the outside it was grubby, paint coming off the doors, tatty holey carpets. We walked in and it was 10 times worse. Right on the side of the by-pass and I think 2 floors above the function room which was hosting a party. Wallpaper was dirty and peeling, carpet was dirty and worn, the bed was even worse. Two very old and dirty beds pushed together no mattress protector and the bottom sheet didn't even cover the mattresses. It was hard and bumpy and we could not sleep let alone cuddle up at all!! Noise coming at you from the by-pass and the party until the early hours. To have to spend your first night as Husband and Wife in this grottiness was so upsetting. We both felt so unwell the next day probably due to being up most of the night... We didn't have the energy to complain and ask for a better room as we were both exhausted and it was a long trek back down to reception in a wedding Dress!! On the booking they were told it was a wedding night so I would have definately expected a better refurbished room. Totally ruined what should have been a fantastic first night for us. The Staff were lovely though.
