Breakfast was a little underwhelming, my first day there was fairly busy and with just one coffee machine there was a big queue. By the time I got to the front the coffee had run out and the one member of staff that was about was rushing around clearing tables and checking people in and out. By the time I got back to my table my breakfast was cold. Also, perhaps a minor thing but the bedroom had no light switch near the door, I arrived late at night and ended up using the torch on my iPhone to find the light switch which was next to the bed.

Another Great Stay
We have stayed here a few times this year. The hotel is in a convenient location to the Cowboys Club and Stadium and there is parking available, which is a plus. The service was a big improvement on our last stay. We were able to pre-book parking and were also given vouchers for breakfast and vouchers for two coffees, which was a lovely surprise. We enjoyed Happy Hour drinks in the bar, which has a nice ambience. The hotel is old, but the beds are really comfy, the rooms are extremely spacious and housekeeping does an excellent job. The public areas of the hotel are always spotless.

Disappointing Service
This was our second stay at Hotel Grand Chancellor and the service was not as good as the first time. We stayed for three nights but had two separate bookings, with two different room types - our original booking was for two nights in a standard room, but we decided to book a third night. We couldn't book the same room type for the additional night, so had to book a one bedroom apartment. I assumed we would be upgraded to the higher room type for the entire stay, as I am a gold member and should receive an upgrade if one is available, but the hotel staff advised on check in that we had to change rooms during our stay. I then requested to stay in the same room for convenience, but we were actually downgraded to the standard room for the three nights, notwithstanding that I had already booked and paid for the one bedroom apartment for one night. This wouldn't have bothered us at all if we were perhaps offered some sort of compensation, eg, drink vouchers or a dining credit. Upon check-out, I advised the staff that we should have a credit on our account as I am a gold member and they confirmed that we did, however I have noticed that the credit was not applied to our account, which is disappointing. On the bright side, we were able to book parking for our three night stay which was a bonus as parking is limited at the hotel and needs to be booked in advance. We enjoyed the happy hour at the hotel bar - reasonably priced drinks, good service and a nice atmosphere.
