    Unique property, friendly staff and great location

    Some of the hotel looks quite tired and in need of renovation, including the bathroom in the room.

    The staff were really friendly and helpful, and the interior balcony from the room into the atrium is a really great feature. Location right on the promenade/seafront which was lovely to be so close to for an early morning walk.

    Did not like the fairground, fortunately it departed after one day! Very close and such loud music.

    Room was great with wonderful view.

    Nothing it was great

    The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable with a balcony over the atrium which was very pleasant. I had continental breakfast which was excellent and ideal for cycling (porridge, fruit etc) We cycled from the ferry along the promenade to the Sefton and set off from and returned to the Sefton as our base for the Coast to Coast bike fundraiser for the Leeds Children's Heart Surgery Fund charity. The pool was warm and inviting and the Gym well stocked.

    Great if you can get the room cheaply.
    • Leisure trip

    • Twin Atrium Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Window over the atrium door was broken so noise wasn't ideal. Water features switched off at night so left listening to a generator, no idea who thinks that's intelligent. No spare pillows provided. Room food menu akin to a cafe, not a 4 star hotel.

    Spacious room with a sofa, 3 tables, 4 chairs, bath and separate shower. Hot chocolate and chilled bottled water provided and a multitude of towels. Atrium was a good replacement for the inevitable rainy day.

    Some areas could do with a bit of TLC. And be aware that everything within the atrium area echos!!

    Good location and the atrium is lovely. Huge rooms and a good rate for single occupants

    Inside room too hot, no sockets nr bed 😩 Pay and display for parking sucks ! Shower no water, but tbh only seemed to be busy times ie b4 breakfast, otherwise not a problem.

    Breakfast and staff great, location great. Girls on reception very good, helpful and had sense of humour 😀

    Location ideal from the ferry, shops and cafes. Lovely restaurants nearby to choose from.

    The furnishings are getting tired and housekeeping wasn’t as frequent as our last stay. The room wasn’t serviced for three days after we checked in (fair enough) but then wouldn’t have been serviced for a further three days unless we asked for it. At £200 a night, I don’t really expect to be making my own bed or supplying my own tea and biscuits. I appreciate its TT fortnight and the hotel was full but every other day doesn’t seem unreasonable

    We like the location with a sea view and proximity to town and the ferries. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was pretty faultless with a good choice of food.
