Stables Inn Aintree

Powerful shower. Not too hot which was surprising given the heat that night. Quite enough to have window open.

Ideal for what we wanted. Reasonable price and opposite the train station for direct 15 minutes journey into Liverpool City centre. Free parking and a Toby carvery next door for food and drink if required. Within walking distance of a big retail park with lots of shops and eateries.

Easy free parking right outside. The check-in desk wasn't manned when I arrived, but there were clear instructions to call through, and a polite staff member gave instructions how to retrieve the key. The room was clean and tidy with plenty of room, comfy bed and a decent shower. There were no sockets by the bed for your phone as someone else has said, but just unplugged the kettle or hair drier. There was a bit of noise from the room above for a short time, it would seem the ceiling soundproofing is a bit thin. Checkout was easy, just dropped the key in the slot at reception. I would definitely consider staying here again if I'm in the area, it's a basic no frills alternative to Premier Inn or Travelodge.
