My stay at Dukes Folly Hotel was a mixed bag. The hotel is beautifully located near the town center, making it easy to explore Southport. I enjoyed the cleanliness of the rooms and the friendly service from the staff, but I encountered significant noise issues that affected my sleep quality. Additionally, while the breakfast was generally enjoyable, there was inconsistency in service during my stay.
