Thanks for the review. I had a bad plate of scouse (tough meat) at the Crown Plaza Hotel where Donna and I have stayed a couple of times. We felt that otherwise the hotel was good except for the scouse, and we would stay there again.

The current building looks like...

The 2012 Olympic logo put through a Play-Doh Extruder.

It needs to be unsuccessfully launched into the Mersey.

Was that too harsh?

What a great idea. An underwater observation cafe. Sitting supping cups of tea while the whales and 'little nemo' and his pals dart past. Worthy of an award that one Dazza.
