“I think this hotel's location is hard to beat: a short walk puts you right at Liverpool's vibrant docks and key attractions. The historical building has distinct character, but I noted some concerns with upkeep; hopefully, management will address these while preserving its charm. A nice touch is the provision of complimentary breakfast items to start the day.”
