Dolby Hotel Liverpool
Brilliant staff! Very helpful and pleasant. Hotel was basic but so was the price. Everything was clean. It's designed for a budget couple of nights stay and it's brilliant to do exactly that . Location to town is very walkable. Would definitely stay again. Free parking is a major bonus.

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.
