Leonardo Hotel Liverpool
Hotel is in a good location. Warm friendly greeting at reception. Room was ok in first inspection, but carpets needed a deep clean, and pain on the curtains. Lack of some amenities such as bottled water, safe & biscuits. Not bad value. Breakfast was ok, but was very busy so a bit of queueing ...

Malmaison Liverpool
Very poor choice at dinner- run out of several dishes so we ended going into city which wasn’t convenient when we were tired. £40 charged for 2 small dogs but they did bring treats and beds. Car park is £24 for overnight.

Staybridge Suites Liverpool by IHG
Hearty breakfast served daily. Liked having our own kitchenette to cook meals...basic but all you need! Staff delightful and friendly, we were checked in early which was a great help. Would recommend. Entrance was initially a bit hard to find. Location great...lovely and quiet. Close walking distance ...

Holiday Inn Express Albert Dock by IHG
The room was clean but the bed was small. We were in a room with a great view of the Mersey but it was directly above a restaurant where there was loud music all night until 11pm. The hot breakfast station is quite small so there is a bit of a queue in the morning.
