I stayed here with with my two sons and partner. I was running the Manchester to Liverpool Ultra and the wee bag with a snack and the little note inside was a really nice, thoughtful touch. All the staff were very friendly and accomodating. My son who has a disability loved using the pancake machine for breakfast. Thanks for a lovely stay.
