Liverpool accommodations/areas help ;)

We've stayed at both the Premier Inn at Albert Dock AND the one by Lime Street Station. I found Albert Dock to be more atmospheric. The area around the one near Lime Street was more lively but I never felt unsafe. Perhaps more going on around there in the evening. You can't go wrong with either.

The big questions are - how much time do you have in the city after dropping the car and what time next day do you leave from Lime Street for London or wherever you are going?
If you've dropped the car at the airport then the sensible train route from Liverpool South Parkway brings you into Lime Street (not Moorfields). If you catch the Airport Express bus it brings you to Albert Dock.
Many places to eat at the Dock.
Albert Dock is very worth a visit and you would catch a Merseyrail train to Lime Street Low Level next morning 2 stops from James Street (very frequent service)- escalators and lifts up from Lime Street Low Level to High Level (main line).
Any ticket from Liverpool should include the train from James Street (even Advance ones) as they should read 'Liverpool stations' as the origin point.
My own suggestion would be bus Airport to Liverpool One Bus Station (for Albert Dock), drop bags at hotel, visit and stay at the Dock.
Then as above to Lime Street.
While at the Dock, or even as you transfer to James Street, you must see the Three Graces at Pier Head (the Royal Liver, the Cunard and the Port of Liverpool buildings).
Are you doing or are you interested in doing a Beatles tour while in the City.

I’ve stayed at the Liverpool City Centre Liverpool One Premier Inn on Hanover Street and loved the location. Very handy for the shops and restaurants of the Liverpool One development, about equal distance between Lime Street station and Albert Docks. Also an easy walk to the Cavern in one direction and the cathedrals in the other. Pretty much in the dead centre of anything you’d want to see, and feels safe too - it’s a busy street of hotels and shops and restaurants.

You’re right in the perfect area by Moorsfield. The Ibis Styles is nearby.

I also like the Z Hotel.

The location is called Moorfields, not Moorsfields.

Thank so much for the information.

Once again this forum has been such a great help because of people who take the time to respond. I truly appreciate it, have booked and will likely be on here again with more questions…will definitely keep reading all the other feeds as they have been very helpful as well.

Cheers,
