Working Away

Receptionist very friendly and helpful, breakfast and snacks served in the leisure suite - separate building. The rooms were RED hot, too warm. I had very noisy guests above me, the hotel couldn’t change that. But it did sound like a heard of elephants were above me - all night. Shower rather than a bath, shower is a power shower and was good, Elemis body wash and hair wash in rooms Hotel very central for North East and easy access to A1/major routes

Good hotel

Good hotel, upmarket travel lodge type hotel but bigger rooms. Decent price too.
Liz, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great for an odd night or two

Staff were very polite and welcoming. Only downside, if you wanted breakfast you had to walk across the carpark to the next building for dining.

ceiling caved in within reception, booking promised access to gym, upon arrival i was informed access would be £15. Hotel and room very tired. will not be staying again

Misleading to charge extra to use the pool

Not impressed. It is very misleading that they charge an extra fee per day to use the health club facilities, but the hotel picture is of the pool! They want you to book direct by all means. I did not notice the surcharge coming up in the description as you have to scroll all the way down to see it. Room was OK, both shower and sink starting to clog. Staff at the entrance was not friendly at all, she said they have nothing to do with the pictures Hotels.com choose to promote the hotel. Not a full restaurant on-site, if you want to use the cafe you need to go to the health club which is a different building and they make you sign in to enter. Will not be coming here again. It is a pity as the Darlington branch is beautiful, staff is super friendly but this one misses the mark.
Mayra, 2-night trip

Lil stay in Durham

The bed was lovely, comfortable and big. The shower was superb, defo a highlight. Was gutted that our tea/coffee wasnt replenished so we could have a cuppa before we left (stayed for 2 nights). Room was a great size. Would have liked some more spa essentials in the bathroom such as moisturiser, thought that would have been a nice accompaniment for the stay. There was shampoo/conditioner and body wash in the shower. Overall was a good stay, in a good location for a wedding we were attending.
