Excellent stay at the Sefton. Friendly efficient staff on reception with a simple check in. Breakfast each day was very good and staff very attentive- lovely seafront views. Stayed in the atrium which was lovely and had everything you would need. It did prove a little warm at nights and needed to open the balcony door for air. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would not hesitate to stay again.
