Great location, great hotel but little bits to work on.
Pros:

Everything clean and tidy. Staff very friendly and welcoming.

Cons:

Window was covered so no view outside. With our dinner we asked for the salad to contain no tomato due to an allergy. It arrived with tomato and when we asked for it to be changed, our meal came back with no salad whatsoever. Obviously a prepared or pre bought salad. Breakfast though plenty of options was not very hot.

Hotel a room were nice but I would avoid the restaurant
Pros:

Decor and room was nice. Easy to use the pool and the jacuzzi was lovely

Cons:

Dussappointed with restaurant staff. Made to wait to be seated and they prioritised bar guests despite knowing we were waiting to be seated. Food was a while despite it not being that busy. Staff didn’t check on us even when we stacked our plates they prioritised clearing empty tables. In the end we ordered our deserts at the bar. Felt service was quite poor

Pros:

A személyzet nagyon kedves volt velünk, a szobában lévő ágy rendkívül kényelmes volt és a medence, jakuzzi és a szauna is jól ki van alakítva, a közelben van kis és nagy bolt, buszmegálló, étterem stb.

Cons:

Nem volt.

Superbly comfortable goregous stay
Pros:

This was a fantastic stay goregous hotel. I must say for a hotel this was the BEST ! most comfortable bed usually beds are firm but this was so soft you sank into the bed ! least to say i had a great sleep.
great size room clean. breakfast was superb. they had a dedicated table for gluten / dairy free for people with allergies. staff was super friendly. lovely quick check in and out. i would stay here again , spa was lovely too

Cons:

the only thing i could say was the pyramid spa was pre occupied with children’s swimming classes throughout the day and it’s getting over crowded for hotel guests plus wishing for a relaxing peaceful spa time.

Amazing stay
Pros:

The staff were amazing and very helpful

Cons:

There was only one staff at the restaurant trying to cover receiving guests and replacing food options at the same time, maybe 2 members of staff would've helped as guests sometimes had to wait for a little longer than needed

It met my needs nicely.
Pros:

The location is great, although pedestrian access from St Helens Central Station is a little awkward. The room was good. I appreciated that the amenity tray included decaf coffee sachets. The bed was comfortable, the shower was hot with good pressure, and the WiFi worked well. I was pleased that the breakfast buffet was open from 7am, since I like to get an early start.

Cons:

Openable windows would have been nice. At breakfast I stood waiting a full ten minutes before a staff member came to take my room number and invite me to take a table. The hotel policy of taking a separate £50 damage deposit adds friction to the checkin process.
