“Oh Dear...............”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012
7
people found this review helpful

Oh Dear................. firstly can I say I'm not hard to please, arrived at this hotel and immediatly noticed very little heat in the place, (arn't hotels meant to be inviting and warm places?) well it just went downhill from this point, I booked a superior double room and informed the hotel that I was a single occupancy client, the room was described as sumptuous.................................... well my advise is you forgot to include the description of the not so sumptuous bathroom, I had a bin liner of the previous occupants bathroom rubbish on the floor and the remnants of there own toiletries left in the shower, there was also an almost empty hand wash left on the sink, and the bathroom was like a 1970's disaster, towel rail missing and holes left unfilled, there was a very old heater in the bathroom which didn't work, and a shower that ran hot and cold arrrgh..... promptly went to alert the staff, and was very politely taken to another more sumptuous room......... great I thought.............. until I checked out the bathroom and the all important heating in the room, again Non Existant, went straight back to the lovely girl on duty for the evening, she promptly came to check out the heating, Oh Dear the radiators were not working because they needed bleeding, we then realised the tele remote was missing, we searched together in all the cupboards and drawers but couldn't find the remote...... I felt so sorry for the lovely girl who by this time was totally embarresed by the situation, she asked me if I would like to go back to the original room as this at least had heating, I agreed but only because I had an important function to attend at the Floral Hal in 2 hoursl.
I saw no sign of any Manager or senior member of staff at this hotel and was very concerned.
My advise is...........Do not advertise yourself as a sumptuous hotel when all that is sumptuous is the curtains and the bedding, all of which is probably hired...................
I rate this hotel as very poor and say to the manager or owners, sort out the bathrooms.........

Room Tip: Just make sure it has heating and no rubbish in the bathroom

“An excellent overnight stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Impressed by the attentive staff member for whom nothing was too much trouble. She was happy to make restaurant recommendations & offered to call a taxi in view of the inclement weather.

The room & bed were comfortable with good facilities & more than enough toiletries on offer in the bathroom.

A newspaper ordered the night before was there at breakfast, which which provided a delicious & comprehensive offer.

Would be happy to stay here again.

“Pleasant Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2011

On a business trip to Southport, didn't want to stay in the usual Premier Inns etc, found this guest house and booked in.

Glad I did, although the rooms not that spacious, that are immaculately clean and well equipped. The bed was incredibly comfy and as the hotel is in a quiet residential street a good nights sleep was had!!

Breakfast was included and was to a high standard (from full english to just cereals and toast).

Nothing was to much trouble during my stay for the staff and I made full use of the comfy lounge area!!

Oh and Free WiFi!!
