In Liverpool we stayed at the Thistle Atlantic Tower. I wouldn't recommend it. There was nothing 'executive' about our executive room. The only redeeming feature were the views from the 12th floor. Otherwise the room (and bed) were small, the decor tatty, the bathroom small and the water was basically dropping out of the shower, making showering a little difficult. And while it was freezing cold outside, it was boiling hot inside and the air conditioning wasn't working. I guess the immediate comparison with the Brook Barn contributed to a certain disappointment.
But we enjoyed walking around the docks, which all seem to have been modernised in recent years. Lots of cafes, restaurants and still surprisingly quiet on a Sunday.
On Monday, we travelled back south, via Chester. A nice charming town. And then it was along drive back to London. Admittedly I slept most of the time...
All in all, a great long weekend!
