The simple rooms at this revamped historic property reportedly had all the essentials for a comfy stopover on a budget. Many guests said the accommodation was more than satisfactorily clean and spacious for their requirements. The cosy beds were another plus. Those looking to economize often said their stays represented good value for money due to the usually inexpensive room rates.
Travellers praised the pleasant, obliging and professional personnel who were on hand to assist guests and usually made check-in a breeze.
This hotel's town centre location in the Merseyside seaside resort of Southport reportedly gave reviewers the best of both worlds. Not only was it surrounded by town centre shopping and dining options, but also it was within walking distance of the promenade and seafront attractions. Guests were also keen on the proximity of bus stops and the railway station offering regular services to Liverpool and Manchester. Drivers commented that it was easy to get to area attractions, beauty spots, sports venues and Irish Sea beaches.
It disappointed some motorists that there was no free on-site parking available. Instead, they could use a paid car park nearby or try their luck looking for free on-street spaces in the vicinity. However, some of these were subject to frustrating time limits.
Bathrooms that could have been more vigorously cleaned, stale smells and stained bedding were among the minor cleanliness grumbles guests had in some rooms. Meanwhile, light sleepers were occasionally disturbed by nuisance noise from neighbouring rooms and corridors.
Travellers were annoyed that they faced charges for Wi-Fi access once a free 30-minute period was used up.
