Book Greene King Southport accommodation from NZ$108

Really lovely hotel. Rooms very comfy and modern. Lovely bar and seating, lounge area. Staff all very friendly

Still a grand hotel in my book. Nice big room and bath room. Comfy bed. Very central. Great price.

We spent the weekend there. Our first visit. Longtime Blackpool visitors and decided we needed a change from our usual haunt of the past 20 years. A large north shore older hotel but the basement pool facility is now closed. Our 10 years old granddaughter likes a pool. Quite pleased with the Doric. Plus points: Very good & friendly staff & plenty of them. Nice cooked breakfast with other options available in a nice waitress services dining room. The dining room also doubles up as the entertainment venue in the evening and there is bingo and some good quality singers on too. Room was clean and fresh bedding on the two beds. Medium points: Basement leisure area has a fairly small 3 foot deep pool and a small ‘hot tub’. A steam room that doesn’t look like it’s working and no sign of the advertised sauna. Parking is not plentiful. We arrived at 4.10pm and just managed to get a spot down the side of the hotel. Which is tight and relies on you leaving your keys at reception so they can move cars in and out if needed. To be fair. Nothing moved over the weekend. Not great: The room was hot / without any heating on. Room & bathroom windows were opened by us and didn’t make much difference till well after midnight, so was a little uncomfortable. There was a fan available in the wardrobe, which would have been a toss up between the fan noise and the heat… Bath taps quite old and hard to turn on & off. Would stay again. Hoping for a better room next time. We had #59

Some rooms very dated and not like advertised! Staff very accommodating in moving me to a more updated room. The room was better but bathroom was poor in terms of the quality of shower etc. Very poor water pressure and it was impossible to get the shower temperature to a consistent one. Bedding and towels were clean and fresh and room was lovely and quiet. Breakfast was really good. Cannot fault the staff, all very friendly, appeared to enjoy their jobs and very helpful which is extremely refreshing these days!

Top class staff, including cleaners who do first rate job. Warmest of welcomes from Receptionists. Hotel handy for popping into town. Cannot find fault with any aspect.

Great place to stay, excellent for Lime Street no more than 2 minutes away, staff great facilities good. A few things of concern not that it would not stop me booking again is 1 ply toilet rolls not great as it's not a budget hotel, also the radiators are clanking all night certainly on the room we had on 6 th floor, very annoying which affects your sleep, also the ceramic tiles in my bathroom were all lose and moved when you walked on them However bedrooms great extremely comfortable large beds and generally a great stay, would have no problem re booking this hotel but next time I would check out the things that required doing.
