8/10 Good
"We had a nice stay, the apartment is wonderful, views amazing (even on the hinterland side where we could still see the water from the balcony anyways), close to everything. Easy access in the lifts from the parking to the apartment. All amenities were great, beds comfortable, bathrooms clean, kitchen well equipped. Contact with the actual management of Cllix was difficult - our details didn’t transfer through from hotels.com to them so we didn’t receive any confirmations for check in details, I called to confirm and they didn’t record my email correctly so still nothing. Had to call them direct again to get access to the building and codes to collect the keys. The parking was fine until someone decided to park in our allocated space, again tried to call management to get an alternate park, and yes they resolved it but it was painful and time consuming to deal with. The place otherwise is amazing and if we have spare time for the next visit we would stay again but if you don’t have a lot of time, the painful administration issues take the niceness of the property away. As we stayed on the weekend we didnt have the construction noise next door, but Monday morning it started at 6am. Which was fine, but definitely there. The apartment really was lovely."

"Nice new(ish) hotel. One of the most comfortable beds I've slept on in a long time. Has so much potential but feel few main things that let it down 1) Lack of parking. Whilst can pay for parking spots are very limited. We were unable to get one and had to do laps around area to find parks. Its untimed on weekends but 4hrs weekdays. 2) Breakfast options were very limited. was a cabinet of savouries and cakes that didn't seem overly fresh. Given it's on outskirt of Southport (and parking challenges above) would be great if offered even simple toasties or breakfast wraps. 3) Resturant/bar hours are limited outside weekend."
