Friendly, smart staff all welcoming and polite. Food was lovely and presented nicely and enjoyable to eat. Well decorated and clean inside and out. Would come again when in the area. Not many places like solo travellers, especially to eat. Ate in the bar area even though the restaurant was offered. Recommended if around Southport

Breakfast was the best I've ever had in a hotel. If you stay in the hotel its 10 pp BARGAIN Would definitely recommend going. The rooms are amazing really clean and modern. There are plenty of bars around the hotel, and parking was 5.00 for 24hrs we managed to park just outside of the hotel on a side street. Will definitely return 100%.

Stayed for two nights and the room was a good size and very warm (slightly too warm). Staff were all young and very enthusiastic and that worked very well. The carvery as good as it comes (we ate there both nights it was that good). The hotel is very well located on the high street and easy access to the marina and seafront. The hotel is linked to another hotel and Irish bar across the road where you can use your room key to charge drinks and was a nice touch. Only negative was no lift but in summary we would very happily stay here again.

Did not have a room but called for two standard carverys Sunday afternoon lunchtime. The Beef was excellent as well as all the trimmings. Plenty of choice and a friendly server. The Head Chef came out of the kitchen and his uniform was impeccably clean which garnered assurity in the cleanliness of the kitchen. Overall very good. Would return.
