Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers fantastic value compared to other Southport hotels, with toughened glass windows and a small fan heater in the room. The bathroom experienced a flash when turning on the mains switch. The location is close to restaurants, bars, and golf courses, just on the outskirts of the town centre. The conservatory is well set out.
The hotel provides adequate facilities, a comfy bed, but with only a very small window which can feel a bit cramped for two adults. The service is excellent, with attentive staff and a welcome drink. The location is well set out in a nice area close to the town, ideal for exploring Southport's attractions. The dining experience offers good quality but is let down by serving on cold plates. The facilities are decent, catering to basic needs.
The hotel boasts a convenient location close to all the attractions of Southport with easy access to shops and restaurants. The rooms feature a kingsize bed and a bathroom with some minor inconveniences. The service is top-notch with friendly staff members offering excellent customer service. The dining experience serves well-prepared dishes, although there are minor flaws to note. Overall, a reasonably priced stay with a few drawbacks in certain areas.
