Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The bed was itchy and very uncomfortable and it had a huge bulge in the centre. The shower took over 20minutes to warm up and the tiles were hanging off the wall. The jug of water in the gym had a layer of stagnant film across it and mould growing as it had been there so long. The menu options were limited as the majority of it was not available. The photos online are a lot better than the actual building.

I had stayed in this hotel last year, now under new management. The room was good, the food was good, the price was good, the staff very helpful & friendly, lots of space in the hotel. I did not make use of any facilities (I don't in any hotel). The place seemed to be rather empty and lacked atmosphere, hopefully that will come as the new team work the hotel up. I would stay here again.

Nice hotel with lots of parking and very friendly staff at reception. Gym was OK but no water and the lift was broken so bags had to be carried up to the second floor. Breakfast wasn't included either and the hotel is a little tired. OK for one night however.

A steady clean hotel away from the hustle of the city centre. The staff were super friendly, special mention to Kiran on the check in desk. The room was tight for space but as it was only a one night stay that was perfectly acceptable. The bed was really comfy. The only thing I would knock it for would be there was a lot of dust around the TV area. The gym area looked neat and tidy, I didn’t use them as I’d used a gym in the city prior to arrival. The restaurant area had a nice feel to it even though there were few guests. I ordered a steak burger with chips and a drink, came to approx £23 which was reasonable. Breakfast was everything you’d expect from a buffet style breakfast. A selection of hot and cold food and drinks including continental style. Overall a comfortable stay and I would stay again.

Clearly the hotel has been just taken over, and it felt like the new people weren't quite up to speed. A couple of times it took a while for staff to eppear when needed. The buffet breakfast on Saturday morning was very bad for this and a group of us had to wait quite a while for food to turn up. Sure: it's a busy time, but part of the job here is to anticipate and deal with demand. I also didn't get on with the mattress and struggled to sleep.

Really nice hotel, we checked in early and Kiran sorted out finding us a room that was available so we didn't have to check in later on when we got back in. The bed was extremely comfortable and the breakfast was great with Claire making sure we were well looked after.

We stayed overnight to attend the Liverpool parade. The check in process was quick and easy. The bathroom could have been cleaner. It was a little dark in the room due to limited lighting. The bed was very comfortable. Parking is included so that was very convenient. We would stay again.
