Have just returned from the prince of wales after a short break monday to friday. I found the service to be of the highest quality with food also of the highest quality. The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable with a shower of the powerful variety. The staff were very friendly and very professional making our break very... more

We arrived with a coach party. Check-in was quick and efficient. Our room was large and clean, beds comfy. Food was plentiful and good quality. Staff in restaurant were very pleasant and nothing was too much trouble. Gala dinner on Thursday was excellent. Only down side, entertainment was geared towards an older age group, so we visited one of the... more

I am really surprised to see so many negative reviews of this hotel on TripAdvisor. I grew up in Southport and my parents had a shop on Lord Street, so we knew some of the hoteliers in the town and, through holidaymakers, the reputation of many other places to stay. I'd always wondered what it would be like to be... more
