Great situation in Southport
Pros:

Great location for my needs. Centrally situated in town centre but also close to the seaside resort amenities.
The demeanour of the staff and their attention to my needs stood out for me.
Once I figured out how to use the dual shower heads, the bathroom was a treat.

Cons:

Not being the healthiest person, the two flights of stairs was a little troublesome for me.
Due to the weather it was necessary to have the windows open although privacy was maintained with the blinds. But this meant that every sound filtered up from the street below and unfortunately the noise was excessive at times including emptying bottle bins and the seagulls!

Won't stop again
Pros:

Location that's about it.

Cons:

34° outside, even hotter inside the hotel especially floor 2. Very small, boxy room with no opening window for ventilation and definitely no air con. Even if air con wasn't possible in the rooms the outside corridors and stairs could have had portable units to cool the hotel down. Also very indifferent staff, some who were excellent, and I'm not sure what to call the others! For instance. A barman who didn't think he had to measure spirits, so just counted to 5 for doubles, has he told me "I've got 17 years experience so know what a measure is". This was the same guy who decided to clean the draft beer pumps at 11pm so only bottles or spirits now! Although at this time we were just only half way through a England world cup game! At around the same time another member of staff walked into the bar and announced that the tv would be turned off at 11.45 regardless of a full time result, so too bad if extra time had happened, luckily the game did finish without extra time. So now time for bed and a rattling fan to keep us cool in the oven (sorry bedroom), you can probably tell from this review we didn't stop for breakfast..

We would recommend the bold for an all in one place stay.
Pros:

Classic hotel close to everything. Great breakfast with a comfortable bar, and nice atmosphere. Rooms are spacious and comfortable

Cons:

No AC. It was quite hot while we were there. So table fan and ear plugs to block out the noise as the windows needed to be open. I adapted.

Sadly, this property needs air-conditioning
Pros:

Ideally located on Lord Street, the room was nicely decorated albeit very dark- blacks and grays and silver. The staff we superb - helpful, informative and nothing was too much for them. Reception staff including the lady who ironed my husband's shirt when he went to ask for an iron and board, and the waiter at breakfast - all outstanding. The breakfast was very very good too.

Cons:

The room was unbearably hot and the temperature outside was only 23C and this wasn’t helped by the fact the blinds are black. There was a large fan (which unfortunately was very loud so we couldn’t have it on whilst we were sleeping )which wasn’t switched on already and no air-conditioning which unfortunately in summer even in the UK is required. I appreciate the building is an old building, but something needs to be done. And the Venetian blinds need a proper clean. They were extremely dusty and seeing the window wasn’t open when we entered the room it can’t be blamed on dust from outside. This is such a shame as the design of the room is good - could just do with being way brighter.

Good for a stop over
Pros:

Good location, easy walking around the area.

Cons:

Heavy bags and no word that reception is upstairs, the same for rooms it’s all stairs and no lift.

Booked a superior room, no milk, go to ring there’s no phone in the room. No bathrobe as stated.

The toilet was upon the shower.

Wasn’t what I’d say was superior.

Parking a major issue 5 spaces that’s it.

Excellent once again
Pros:

2nd time staying at this lovely hotel. Absolutely no complaints about this place. The rooms are spacious and well furnished including a really good fridge and even had a Dyson fan which was definitely needed as it was very warm. The restaurant and bar area are really nice and comfortable. The staff are really friendly on the bar and especially Claudine on Reception who appears to the most versatile member of staff as she Where's several hats. She is a real asset to that hotel and their sister bar over the road. The breakfast was absolutely gorgeous and plenty of choice plus juices. Will be definitely returning later in the year for another mini break.
