Stayed in the then newly refurbished Midland some years ago, and have wanted to revisit with the Allard since getting the car, booked a stay this week, and photographed Allard at entrance, to me deco meets deco.Also would say if anyone seeking accomadation in the north west,Morecambe including Erics statue,and The Midland is an option you may not consider but is definately worth a visit,regards Peter.
