Weekend break may 25th/28th Couple. We were apprehensive about our break after reading reviews, so arrived expecting the worst!! Reception staff rude and unwelcoming. Our room was very dated but clean. There must have at some time been a water leak as paper was peeling of wall in one corner. Bed comfortable and linen clean. We booked a sea view... More

This hotel was the worst one I have ever been too! Customer care was nil from the management, everything was too much trouble and courtesy to customers was non-existent. The management did as little as possible to make people welcome, I was with a coach party of pensioners who were captive there, and the management knew it, The hotel was... More

We were a party of 6 and stayed for a long weekend with Justgolidays for just £99. After we booked we looked on Tripadvisor to find out what sort of hotel we were staying in. Some of the comments weren't too good so we were a little apprehensive as to what we were walking into especially as the price included... More

The rest is overdue for referbishment and a little scruffy. The beakfast was very good; wide selection of cooked foods. The dinner was above average... More

I visited the Sefton Hotel as an independent disabled traveler. On arrival I had to ring the hotel as access is through a side door which is locked and the electronic key is at reception. The hotel advertises 9 purpose built disabled rooms, these are not available even for a supplement if you are a single traveler and so I... More
