Guests staying at the Adelphi Hotel were woken up to the sounds of police "banging" on their doors after the body of a 22-year-old woman was found in a room at the hotel.
As the ambulance and police cars stood guard outside the doors, guests were allowed to come and go freely. Many stood outside talking amongst themselves as they tried to piece together the events of the night before. Others were shocked by their rude awaking and being confronted by a host of ambulances and scientific support vehicles.
One man from Birmingham who had been visiting Liverpool for a "big night out" said that after coming back to the hotel in the early hours of this morning he was awoken at 7am by a police officer outside his hotel room door.
