My only criticism is that there is limited car parking and that the only place to park is across the road which costs £8.50 for the night, other than that the hotel looks welcomes you.

The location is in a quiet square on the cusp of the museums area. Parking in the road is available. There are some places to eat but rather more a good walk away. Thus the flexibilities of having an evening meal in the hotel are welcome. We ate here twice and enjoyed both meals.
Our room was modernised but the bathroom was old school.
An excellent breakfast is served with hot items prepared for you( not buffet)
What makes our stay stand out was the staff. They have the right attitude; helpfull without being overbearing. Jackie and Nicole deserve mention.
We would be happy to stay again.

Bedroom had wallpaper hanging off, gap between the skirting board and carpet so you could see the rafters underneath. Awkward bathroom with sloping ceiling hindering climbing in/out of bath/shower. Difficult to wash in the sink as the shower glass is very close behind, you need to really use the sink sideways- we are not large people! Toaster still doesn’t work properly! Paper thin walls (on 2nd floor). 2nd night a regular noise was heard through out the night, we put it down to a water pump, annoying.
Not the best stay.

Disappointing stay

Rather poor- slow check in. Basin tap very loose. Shower doors didn’t function correctly, toilet seat not straight, window latch broken & a glass from the bathroom had toothpaste on it. All easily fixable problems. Toaster only toasted one side, we were told they were waiting for the part- we had stayed a month ago and were told exactly the same. No one at checkout to raise the concerns.

We booked on the understanding that there was parking as advertised. This is NOT the case there is no parking apart across the rd at £8.50 a day. The room to say the least was extremely limited for space and not very clean.
On the second day the room leaked water through the ceiling which was an historical issue due to staining of curtains and walls
Was moved to another room which was admittedly larger but wasn't clean it even had an old contact lens on the bathroom floor. The manager actually had the audacity to try to explain to us what a wet room was and not be concerned about spilling water on the floor TWICE.

A pleasant weeken away.

The hotel no longer has it's own parking area, it now has tables & chairs set out in that space.
There is some on street parking almost outside and a church car park opposite (£8 per day), so no problem really.
Made to feel really at home by all staff, for me the continental breakfast was plentiful, my wife went for a cooked breakfast (£6).
All in all a pleasaant stay, our 2nd stay, hopefully we will return.

Great location. Shame about the other guests.

Hotel is in a very convenient location for all local amenities. Hotel is decorated to a good order. Staff are friendly and helpful. Bathroom hadn’t been cleaned prior to check in as the sink had residue on it and stains under the bowl. It also wasn’t cleaned during our stay either. Neither was the bin emptied. Not good that despite the hotel being closed for a time earlier on in the year, there was decorating going on right outside of our room. Also there are rooms - ours included right next to reception - so we were woken up every morning by staff and kept awake at night due to guests sitting in there talking loudly. Beds were a bit on the hard side. Heating didn’t work at all, despite staff insisting it was working ok. You cannot control the heating individually in each room, so a number of guests commented on the lack of heating. There was some sort of do going on, on one night, which resulted in people late at night running through the hotel trying doors and going into the empty rooms, including the one next to ours and the noise went on all night. Staff need to control their guests a lot better and schedule their repairs etc when rooms are not occupied. Whilst the stay was ok, I am not sure I would stay there again.

Ignored at check in and rude bar staff…

Not so good. Ignored at check in. Rude bar staff. Crap breakfast.
Telephone calls more important than arriving guests at check in.
Bar staff, didn’t want to give me ice and a bucket for wine, was reluctant to lend me a bottle opener and after a brief argument relented however, had to have the last word and insulted me as I walked away to my room.
Breakfast coffee was awful and only continental breakfast available.
Bathroom was not very clean with hairs and cleaning not completed in several areas.
Overall pretty poor.
Usually stay at the Vincent Hotel, but had to look elsewhere as they were fully booked. We come to Southport regularly as parents and family are here and I grew up in Southport, so this experience is closer to home. Expected more but didn’t feel valued at all. Won’t be returning.

Only downside to our stay was the breakfast. When we booked it the breakfast was a full cooked service, however when we arrived we where told it is now a continental breakfast which is not what we wanted. So we had no breakfast which we'd paid for.

Parking isn't free too, you have to pay and display in the church opposite or on a side street as we did.

Dukes Folly is better than the average seaside resort hotel, i would class it as a 3 🌟. The room was good size, nice en-suite bathroom, although for some reason the cold tap often ran warm. breakfast was fair although small portions of cornflakes, restaurant food in the evening was not good, the tapas option was poor, tempura vegetables was two pieces of broccoli. Car park opposite was a bonus at £6 for 24 hours.
