We come to the Ramada at least 4 times a year, birthdays, anniversaries etc and each time is fantastic! The views are great, food and drinks are fab, service is brilliant. Wont stop coming here and would reccomend to everyone.

on our recent 4 night stay, golfing the great northwest england, we found the ramada in southport the perfect hub.(close proximity to royal lytham, royal birkdale, royal liverpool and a plethera of world class golf. what set the ramada apart was the friendly acommodating staff. they were always quick with helping on dinner recomendations and reservations. an early riser-i was usually down before breakfast was served. the manager(who was usually vacuuming or cleaning by the way), always jumped to grab me a cup of coffee to get my day started. the rooms were clean, good size and very affordable. my guess is that southport is busier on weekends as we were there sun-thurs. and it was pretty quiet. the casino next door is a rip off and doesn't warrant more than a passthrough. the golf is spectacular and the hospitality overall changed my preconceived opinion of the brits. we found them extremely friendly, humorous and hospitable. well worth a return visit

Excellent hotel, clean, good food and friendly staff.Would highly recommend this hotel, I can not fault this hotel , this hotel is excellent for the centre of Southport positioned on the seafront with some outstanding views.Would defiantly stay here again

Stayed for 1 night.. Cannot fault it at all, especially the soundproofed rooms..I am a very light sleeper so I really liked this..Very clean and in a perfect position..Would def return and recommend to anyone..

So let me get those issues out of the way first. There were a few things in the room that let it down for me but could be easily rectified. One, there had obviously been some damage to the ceiling, it had been painted over but you could see the blotches of paint whenever the sun shone in the room. Two, there were marks on the wardrobe doors and the light in the doorway was a normal energy bulb which hung below its socket which looked shoddy. Three, the door handle for the bathroom had obviously been damaged too and was screwed back on ontop of another piece of wood, again shoddy. Four, the paint was cracking/coming away in places above the shower. The last thing was the windows weren't as clean as they could been. Picky? Maybe but I stayed in one of the marine executive suites so I really wouldn't expect any of the above. The windows being clean became an issue as with them being around half of the room and floor to ceiling it looked really obvious whenever the sun caught them. I appreciate the hotel overlooking the marina/sea and being hard to maintain but when you know you've got guests staying in the room it would benefit from them having a once over, it would really help with the wow factor. And what a wow factor it was. Yes, those were my niggles but overall I would rate my stay as excellent and the positives far out weigh the negatives for me. I booked a two night stay for a suprise trip away for my partners birthday. I went for the marine lake suite as I wanted something really special. I emailed the hotel with this info and asked for a room with a good view and the hotel most certainly delivered on that front. Ask for a view towards blackpool (or on the right hand side of the hotel if you're looking out to sea) and you will get the most magnificent of views. The suites are quite spacious, moreso than they appear in the pictures online so we were very happy when we got to the room. Little touches like the dressing gowns and slippers being put out ready on the bed was lovely plus there were a selection of magazines to read on the coffee table and even a birthday card for my partner. There was a good range of tea and coffee sachets plus mugs and glasses. One thing I would suggest if you are staying in a suite is pack a little washing up liquid and tea towel (to wash out your cups etc). As the room was so lovely we found ourselves sitting by the balcony (yes, one window opens out onto a balcony-you can't sit out but you can walk all along the outside of the room!) and having drinks before we went out in the evening and when we got back. You don't feel like you're in a hotel room, more like an apartment so it's nice to just take time out and relax a little in the room. Another bonus is the mini fridge. You won't get a lot in but it's ideal for a little carton of milk or orange juice, even a few bottles of beer if you take the shelf out. Everything else in the room was to a good standard, the decor was modern and very well presented. The room and the hotel in general was spotless and the cleaning service was second to none. We managed to get in the underground car park but it is small and I'm guessing in the peak of the season it would be hard to get a spot, saying that there are many places to park around Southport. The hotel is in a prime location with the prestigious Lord street being less than a 5 minute walk away and there are many bars, restaurants and such like within easy reach. We didn't dine in the hotel restaurant as we wanted to see as much as the town as possible on a short stay so can't comment on that. Overall, if you can afford the suite then go for it, you can truly relax and you won't just treat your stay as the hotel is just what you go back to sleep in. The views are what really do it here though, stunning.
