The Premier Inn Hotel in Southport is the fifth highest rated hotel in Southport according to hotel guests on TripAdvisor, giving it a score of four stars out of five.
One review, Siobhan, described it as “excellent, and the best Premier Inn I’ve stayed in.”
Another reviewer, William B, said: “Stayed at this Premier Inn on 29/01/22 & glad we chose this place to stay. From arrival to leaving it was a pleasure to be there. The room, food & drinks can not be faulted but above all the staff really make this hotel a great place to stay & we will definitely be staying here next time we visit Southport.”
Premier Inn has more than 800 hotels throughout the UK and an average room price of just £66.
Customers were particularly impressed by their king-sized beds and the selection between firm or soft pillows.

Guests were asked to assess the hotels in 10 categories, including cleanliness, customer service, bed comfort, communal areas, value for money and whether the chain’s ‘description matches reality’.
Overall, it found there are ‘affordable, quality rooms available’ in Britain, with hotel rates falling by more than an eighth in the past year.

Hey would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with? I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
I am no longer sure where you are getting your information, however great topic. I must spend some time studying more or figuring out more. Thank you for fantastic information I used to be in search of this information for my mission.
