The property could do with a bit of a facelift/lick of paint here & there (particularly in the bathrooms/shower in the rooms). I have to say though that the staff are very friendly & helpful. We had a particular problem with noise in our room (316) related to the AC/heating system. The staff were really understanding and arranged a different room. We really enjoyed the pool / spa facilities. The bar food menu was OK, but nothing special (maybe we should have gone in the restaurant). Overall good stay, and staff outstanding,so we will be back. ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shaun Oct 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Chester weekend break lovely hotel would stay their again. ##### Shaun Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Thomas Aug 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Had to wait until 4pm for our room to be available. And even then the receptionist had to physically leave her position to confirm it was ready. The noise down the corridors during the night was unbearable. Gone midnight kids were still shouting and running down the corridors.. At one point in the silent hours we even heard a dog barking from in a room. Same dog was heard in the morning. I dont remember ever seeing dog friendly on the listing? I wouldnt have booked if it was.

Maybe they need to change a few things, like for example, our sink was broken, not sure for how long, but you'd like to think that a hotel like that will act quicker to those type of situations. Even with that, as for us it was a minor, we would like to stay again, the pool is really good and is so nice for walking. ##### Monica Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pete Dec 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I stayed at the MacDonald Portal overnight to attend Oulton Park raceway the following day. There’s ample, secure parking (inc EV chargers) the hotel is nicely appointed, the rooms are spacious and very comfortable. The beds are superb. All the staff we’re more than helpful and the restaurant food was delicious. I will definitely start again in the future and can’t recommend it enough. (Must remember to bring swimming trunks next time too!) ##### Pete Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### RICKY Nov 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Reasonable ##### RICKY Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### laura Jan 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely hotel .. awful sleep The hotel itself was perfect . Room was brilliant size , breakfast was good .. spa was amazing.. pool was freezing .. and good course / grounds for a walk were absolutely gorgeous. My only issue was 3rd floor seemed to be full of Children and while I don't mind them .. we had one next door that screamed the walls down for hours on end in the night. A baby id understand but he was 11/12 screaming and shouting at his parents who did nothing and at one point seemed to leave the room Not the hotels fault just don't think I'd put a young couple in the middle of a floor full of kids . ##### laura Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew Jul 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel is a great place to stay in a lovely location. We have stayed here on a number of occasions and the only thing that continues to let the hotel down is the service in the restaurant at both breakfast and dinner. They are not attentive and are very slow. This is such a shame but would not stop me staying here again. ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicola Dec 5, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Catch up with family. Enjoyed our stay overall. Comfortable room, good facilities. Evening meal was great. Breakfast, choice of eggs a bit lacking. Had to ask for a couple of items. ##### Nicola Stayed 1 night in Dec 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Glen Oct 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### Only go for the golf. Overall was good, but really let down by the restaurant. Evening meal portions were tiny and expensive Lack of staff on bars and serving food. Pre ordered starter didn't arrive until the main course, despite chasing two people. Nice hotel but let down by the restaurant. ##### Glen Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Stephen Dec 30, 2024 Disliked: Staff & service #### Give this a miss. Shocking service again at this hotel. Seems to survive putely from the Golf Tripd and Blue Rinse bus tours. Use for work over the years and always let you down no matter which manager you complain to. A shame as the staff do try, but it is terrible. Sat for a half hour at breakfast and nobody even came to take my drinks order. Wont be using ever again. Far better hotels locally. ##### Stephen Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Aug 23, 2024 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service #### Disabled guest The accessible room was fine except that the shower floor wet room was tiled so nervous when wet. Little supply of room biscuits/ milk/ tea etc. Service at breakfast was very slow and inefficiently done. Pool was fine to use, plenty of changing room space. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jun 30, 2024 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort Food was poor: items missing from the menu eg no anchovies in Caesar salad, no Stone Bass etc ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Mohammed Oct 31, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort This hotel is very dated the spa is on clean not working and doesn’t get serviced enough ##### Mohammed Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-Airport.h809324.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hamilton by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hamilton.h1889137.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Beach House Rental with Hot Tub, 30 meters to Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Looe-Hotels-Luxury-Beach-House-Rental-With-Hot-Tub.h27313935.Hotel-Information) > > [Bonkle House](https://www.expedia.ca/Wishaw-Hotels-Bonkle-House.h15996183.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature London Gatwick Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Crawley-Hotels-Sandman-Signature-London-Gatwick-Hotel.h6579.Hotel-Information) > > [The Harlow Hotel By AccorHotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Harlow-Hotels-The-Harlow-Hotel-By-AccorHotels.h950.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ibstock-Hotels-Pinewood-Lodge.h17183221.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crown hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Woodbridge-Hotels-The-Crown-Hotel.h520172.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Peterborough.h2254377.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pearl Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-The-Pearl-Hotel.h6335144.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Scarborough-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h44509462.Hotel-Information) > > [Unique Luxury Escapes](https://www.expedia.ca/Diss-Hotels-Unique-Luxury-Escapes.h29745570.Hotel-Information) > > [Windermere Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Windermere-Manor-Hotel.h22280374.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Gatwick Airport Central](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Travelodge-Gatwick-Airport-Central.h10160516.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Peterborough-Marriott-Hotel.h691233.Hotel-Information) > > [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Northampton](https://www.expedia.ca/Northampton-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Northampton-Town-Centre.h12543.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Milton Keynes](https://www.expedia.ca/Milton-Keynes-Hotels-Novotel-Milton-Keynes.h892420.Hotel-Information) > > [Beautiful Country Cottage private Indoor Swimming Pool ,Hot Tub, & Games room.](https://www.expedia.ca/Swindon-Hotels-Beautiful-Country-Cottage-Private-Indoor-Swimming-Pool.h34047025.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Peterborough by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Peterborough.h281577.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Peterborough.h2928593.Hotel-Information) > > [Heated indoor pool & spa, countryside holiday cottage near the beach & park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastings-Hotels-Heated-Indoor-Pool-Spa.h18971402.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Lumley Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Chester-Le-Street-Hotels-Lumley-Castle-Hotel.h175571.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson BLU Hotel Durham](https://www.expedia.ca/Durham-Hotels-Radisson-BLU-Hotel-Durham.h2226171.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information)
