Old building so quirks expected. Cross Keys single room nice, bathroom clean, heating good and adjustable. All staff very pleasant and helpful, Manager, Chef, Housekeeping, and others. Specially enjoyed bacon and egg sandwich for breakfast. Let me leave cabin case on premises after checkout until later in the day. Historic area so lots to see, and many shops ie Boots, Waterstones, Co-op and Curzon cinema, within walking distance although some steps and inclines rather steep.Railway station and Tatton Park within easy walking distance (at each end of the road). Tatton Perk and Real Fruit Creamery gelato shop very close by, and the lovely moor with ducks and swans on the water and seats to rest and take in the view. Lots to see, many places to eat, lots of old architecture if that is your thing.

No shower available, had to leave to go to another hotel, as no other room available.Advised would receive a refund, then when we contacted hotels.com advised no refund available. Shocking customer services would not recommend anyone stay there in the future.

The staff were great, the rooms were ok but need upgrading. The noise was really bad, with the planes going in and out of the airport it felt like I was on the end of the runway. Its a shame because the staff and food were really good. Unfortunately we wont be staying there again.

Left with a chill on this occasion
Ive stayed at this hotel approx 15 times in the last 2 years and its usually first class with great staff. This time, I was staying for a function so needed to iron my shirt and get showered. My review and low rating on this occassion was because there was no iron in the room and the water in the shower was freezing cold. I did mention this as I was dashing out and was offered to swap rooms but i said it was pointless at that point. The staff are great as always and tge breakfast is superb but safly the hotel failed me when I needed it most.
