No hot water in shower so had to be moved to another room that wasn’t as clean so a bit disappointed. Beds were comfortable and parking was easy.

Firstly we would use the Hotel Again. It was adequate and priced reasonably. Sadly during most of the night there was heavy traffic, which meant it was difficult to get to sleep.

Very easy to park and the staff are friendly and helpful. Facilities are comfortable but my only quibble is, despite No Smoking notices everywhere, there was a smell of stale smoke and the fire alarm was set off 4 times. Also i have stayed several times over the last 2 years and the lift is always out of order.

The lift didn't work and as I was on crutches the staff moved me from the 3rd floor to the 1st, the room had a stale smell of cigarettes but we only wanted it as a stop off for the pink concert at Sunderland so it was well worth it, also the pub/ restaurant next door is great for an evening meal

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Worst place we’ve ever stayed. Tatty, dated, very rough, poorly cleaned, poorly decorated, generally very low quality hotel. Rock hard bed, would have been more comfy on the floor, if the floor was hygienically safe to do so! Room on the top floor and lift permanently out of order and blocked off - difficult for wife with spinal injury. Recommend you avoid this place until they invest some money in it.

Awful - Avoid this hotel

The room was clean l, spacious and comfy, but at 01.20am my room was entered by a foreign woman presumably wanting to steal my wallet, car keys etc. Fortunately I woke and was able to evict her. She didn't appear to speak English. The hotel is on a busy main road and despite secondary glazing was extremely noisy from road traffic until late and again from 06.00. Speaking to locals after checking out after 1 night of what was meant to be a 3 night stay, the hotel has a dreadful reputation and is believed to be used to house recently released prisoners and police are in regular attendance to disturbances.

Is this a hotel or a half-way house?

I wish I’d read more reviews before booking this hotel, but we were limited for choice due to time constraints and having a dog with us. Apparently the lift hasn’t worked for years - and we were given a room on the third floor. The window of our room only opened a crack, barely letting in any (badly needed) fresh air. The room was very tired and the carpet badly stained. Whoever had painted the bathroom had glossed over the doorframe AND the tiles. It looked like a blind man had been tasked with the job and then not given enough time to complete it. The hot water in the bathroom was just about tepid if you let it run for long enough. Some of the hotel residents seem to be living there permanently, and we saw at least two women hanging around the lobby in their pyjamas/dressing gowns in the middle of the afternoon. We went to the pub next door for an evening meal. When we came back a woman was standing outside the hotel having a heated argument on her phone. When my husband went out 2 hours later to walk the dog she was till there, sobbing into her mobile. On the morning we left two staff were frantically knocking on someone’s door and asking if they were ok. Is this a hotel or a half-way house? I woke up on the middle of the night and the smell of tobacco smoke was so strong in our room that I had to check the hallways to ensure there was no fire. On the plus side, the staff were lovely and very helpful.
