Plugs were not in a convenient place which meant the lamps on the bedside tables weren't actually plugged into anything and we had to charge our phones across the room. In terms of price it was very reasonable and the facilities were kept very clean.

Delta Hotels by Marriott Newcastle Gateshead
Staff very happy to help. However glasses of wine hideously expensive feel quite strongly that you are profiteering excessively on this item - but that's we've learnt and will ensure we'll just bring our own - and you lose any sale. Wise up - £12.50 is not acceptable for a glass of wine
