Just stopped here for the 2nd time in 6 months (2 x 3 night trips) and the hotel is decent but the rooms feel a little dated and the gym slightly lacking. The hotel breakfast is brilliant and the staff are helpful, the location is perfect right next to restraunts and shops. House keeping was non-existent in the 3 nights i stopped here this time around. I dont mind using a towel for 3 days but my bin got a little smelly after 3 days. I would stop again as its decently priced and does the job.

The hotel is in a very convenient location, close to restaurants and just a 5 minute drive from the ferry port. The hotel car park charge is reasonable but having to pay every day rather than a single payment to cover the stay is a bit of a nuisance. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast was was good with a wide choice of hot and cold items. The bedroom was a good size and the balcony overlooking the atrium provided a pleasant place to sit. The only extra we would have liked is a few more hangers in the wardrobe. The four provided didn't quite do it.

The Sefton was well located, a short walk from the port, steam railway and horse drawn tram. Rooms were comfortable and breakfast very good. Staff were very helpful. In particular Margaret on reception went over and above offering advice and help. We will definitely book The Sefton again.....

The Atrium area was a bit shabby, and the bedrooms in this area though spacious were not functioning well. We had problems with hot water at peak times. However the location was perfect. There was a bus stop outside the Sefton, and some good restaurants within walking distance.

Great location, lovely view of the beach and everything within walking distance. Staff and service was absolutely 5* they were really friendly and helpful. For example We asked for advice on getting to the airport on checkout day they helped with route maps and even provided a packed lunch for us to take on the journey since we were out early. On one day there was a fire alarm and the staff were quick to act and so professional making everyone comfortable whilst the issue was resolved. We also enjoyed the breakfasts every morning. Rooms were nice but showed signs of age and some furnishings like chairs were stained. The building as a whole probably requires updating/refurb for example in the pool there was significant rusting on mirrors etc but this did not take away from the stay and we would come back again.
