I have recently stayed in the Crowne Plaza Liverpool - http://www.cpliverpool.com and I had a fantastic time. Don't normally stay in Liverpool as that is where I live but it was a last minute thing and what a pleasant surprise it was.

The service provided by the staff was absolutely excellent and the hotel itself I couldn't fault. The Habour Club is lovely, so nice to get up in the morning and go for a swim before breakfast.

Everything we needed was provided and it is in a superb location, next to the Liver building and close to the Albert Dock so we could stagger back after our night out.
