Best Hotels near Spaceworld Soft Play, Prescot

Went back this hotel after a break of a few years for a tribute night with family. The rooms were quite decent on the top floor but the service was absolutely shocking in every aspect of the hotel. I don’t think we would return to this hotel I’ll explain….. On arrival we dropped out bags in the room and went downstairs to the bar for a few drinks - every single draft beer/lager was off and only bottles were being sold. This was really dissapointing there was no explanation from the bar staff who all appeared very miserable. Next we went downstairs to the party room and waited in the foyer with others and the beers were all off again on this separate bar too. Then I ordered some drinks and was told “we are only taking cash”. I asked why and the bar man said the card machine had broke. I explained I had no cash on me to which he replied I would have to get drinks upstairs! This wouldn’t be that bad but it was up 3 flights of stairs and a real inconvenience for the whole night having to go upstairs to pay for bottled drinks. Anyway after waiting for a minute a few people began to complain and a young man with blonde hair came behind the bar and I’m not joking shouted at everyone waiting “the card machine is off if you want a drink go upstairs” very rudely. One woman asked to speak to the manager and he actually shouted “I am the manager” very rudely - no apology or help or anything. It occurred to me after that they could have just charged the room or charged the table but nothing was offered or any help given he was clearly under pressure and his customer service was absolutely shocking everyone was gobsmacked! So the night went on and the disco finished at 1 am I think but bizarrely the bar in the hotel shut an hour earlier so we couldn’t have any drinks for the last couple of hours as the card machine was off all night ! You couldn’t make it up…. The disco was good fun, meal nice but then a gain in the morning the service let it down. Went down to breakfast and was told our room hadn’t paid for breakfast - we stood at the entrance whilst the woman greeting us walked off for about 10 minutes came back and just said “follow me”…. No apology, explanation or anything and yes we got breakfast which was actually not bad. The service was so poor it did actually really dampen our stay and I think most people were annoyed to…. Mistakes happen but you only want a smile, apology or explanation and instead we were spoken to almost like a visit to “Karen’s diner” . I’ve attached a photo of the state of the bar too!

Beautiful hotel

Centrally located within walking distance to the town centre, shopping centres, cinema’s, fast food outlets and free hotel parking located in the hotel grounds. The room was large, spacious and very clean. Well appointed with sound proofed windows and good block out curtains. The sleep quality was great as the room was so dark with the curtains shut and the room was so quiet. Super comfortable bed with lovely linens and nice pillows in a climate controlled room - bliss. The air conditioning worked really well, especially during UK’s heat wave. The room was equipped with everything that you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. Bathroom was very clean, good water pressure and thumbs up for environmentally bottled toiletries, which were very fragrant & lovely to use. Bathroom was well lit and had a decent hair dryer. Swimming pool & gym facilities were available, however you had to book a time-slot of when you wanted to use these facilities – which wasn’t an issue, you just had to be a little bit organised. Breakfast in the restaurant was fresh & plentiful, waitstaff were very polite and friendly. Bar was small and intimate with excellent bar service and a nice range of beverages to choose from. All the staff were fabulous and very accommodating. Faultless stay and we can’t wait to return.

I cannot recommend the suites enough for a wedding day. Alison is absolutely amazing she is so friendly and very helpful at all times. whenever I had to email her over a query her response was always fast. The wedding day itself ran perfectly. Everything was perfect from the ceremony, to the photographers choices for photos, Lee the DJ was brilliant. All staff were so helpful. The buffet was so nice. We literally had the best day ever and could not have asked for anything more. Thank you all again Mr and Mrs Long

The room was clean and the service was good
