Been disabled was paramount. As long as parking on hotel front was guranteed, then this hotel was excellent for me. I enjoyed close parking, easy access, gr8 breakfast options. Good staff A pool or games room would put extra stars on what is already good value for money.

A little gem

I booked a sea view room. Stunning views over the Promenade. Look, it’s a very old hotel, so maintenance is needed constantly. Creaking floor boards and dated corridors. That comes with the territory. My room was superb, clean and bright. I was pleasantly surprised by the breakfast (12.50) if a walk in. Piping hot, good selection, spotlessly clean. Comfortable bed, nice and quiet, very helpful reception staff.

Well located 'grand' style hotel.

A very good location overlooking the promenade, but only a few hundred yards from Lord Street - Southport's main street. It's a hotel in the 'grand' style, rather too big now and some parts are clearly in need of modernisation and repair, but all public areas are clean and very nicely decorated. Large lounge/bar area. Full breakfast available, with plenty of choice. Lots of parking space at the front of the hotel.

Our room was clean and beds comfortable, the furniture old but adequate, bathroom was old, white toilet seat on an old salmon coloured suite, both sink taps leaked, tiles and grouting in need of replacing and nothing like the pictures I saw online. Carpets through the main lobby very stained. I feel the hotel is in need of refurbishment inside and out, however, the Staff were very helpful and friendly; the breakfast was fine.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The shower was excellent. The building was tired and shabby inside and out. The room did not have a sea view, or tissues, or usable toilet tissues, or a fridge or a safe. The windows were filthy. The bed was comfortable. The bedside lights were so far from the bed you had to get up to turn them on or off. There was no fresh drinking water in the room or available. The breakfast looked inedible so I didn’t eat it. The bins in the room were not emptied in the 4 days I stayed there. The hand wash was in the shower so you couldn’t use it and there was no shelf in the shower for shower gel etc. I would not recommend it but the bed was comfortable and the shower was large and the water hot.

Short break

The only contact we had with the staff,was when we checked in, the receptionist was pleasant. I stayed at the Royal Clifton over 20 years ago,in a larger family room,I remember it being quite grand upstairs. To be fair we booked a basic two night stay,which we got,sadly the exterior looks worse for wear.
