I was shocked to learn there is no lift at this hotel - presumably there are disabled access areas but for people who are mobile but with heavy luggage, or with small children, we should be made aware when booking. The rooms were very hot - there was some sort of control by the room door but no instructions. Leaving a window open meant noises from other rooms could be heard; there was a fan provided but this too was noisy. The breakfast was disappointing for the price. I arrived half an hour before the service ended and asked if more fruit would be brought to the buffet but was told that the two pieces of pineapple and some dried up orange wedges were all that there was. Similarly one of our group who was there much earlier was told more croissants would be brought but they never appeared. The staff are very personable is one positive, and the leisure facilities were very welcome .

Excellent gym and swim facilities included. A real bonus to our trip. We travelled into Manchester and Liverpool using the train - short walk (about 10 mins). Metro also nearby. Room and bathroom clean. Food available at bar/cafe area, we didn't use this but looked comfortable area. Breakfast buffet has good selection, definitely recommend when booking, lovely staff in morning and set us up for our busy days out.

Arriving at the venue the car park was very full, but did have a few spaces. Then checking in at 19:10 we were quickly seen to but then disappointingly we were told that the “kids sessions in the pool ended at 19:00, so immediately we were on a downer. We specifically selected this place because they had a pool, but we didn’t get to use it during our stay, due to the limited time windows where kids can use the pool. If you are coming here with young kids and plan on using the pool, check with them for their timetable before you book to avoid disappointment. As for the room, it was ok, with a small double bed and bunk beds for the kids. Breakfast was good and the waitress was very welcoming and friendly. At check in they said it was continental (so I was disappointed) but at breakfast the next day it did turn out to be a full English (so I was happy again). Would I stay here again… no unfortunately not!

Although the room was a bit smaller than we expected, and more that one person in this room for more than one night would tax the storage capabilities, the staff more than made up for it, we got in slightly late than we wanted on the 1st night so we didnt dine in, the second night was amazing, food was great and the staff loved our little baby and was making sure she was happy and smiling.

Overpriced - not too bad but wouldn’t stay again
Room was too small. I had a cupboard that I couldn’t open because the door was too close to the bedside table. Just a simple room with no frills which I thought was overly expensive for what it offered. Breakfast wasn’t the best either and looked very unappetising.
