Beds were comfortable, staff were friendly and helpful. Room was not clean and we needed to complain to get moved. Room standard was very basic, old and tired and not as shown on website.

The room was extremely basic and the bathroom was in need of a deep clean as there was black mould in various places.
It wasn’t a place we felt we wanted to spend any time in. There were options for breakfast but not any healthy ones. Check-in was efficient and staff friendly.

It took us ages to find somewhere to accept the voucher and when we did we understood why- it was awful! Noisy old and drab sports centre with rooms! Bedroom was clean but window overlooked a flat roof with an extractor fan going all night! Breakfast was ok but you paid extra for a drink and had to be eaten on sticky old warn table in the bar with loud tv going Al the time- do not go to this place !

We arrived for our stay to be told there was no reservation for that date and they were fully booked. Apparently we should have arrived on 29th October. After showing my email with the details a room was found that they keep for emergencies, this room was small with one side of the bed along the wall meaning I had to climb over my husband to get out of bed.
The room itself was shabby but bedding and bathroom was clean.

We were on the ground floor because my wife has mobility problems. The shower was old enough to have a crack between the wall and shower floor which was black probably mold. The bed was torture for old frail bones. we noticed there were lot of builders staying and they probably could cope with the bed and I am sure found it very good value and. so it was not a gift to us, but a place for cost-effective housing for workmen

Trip to Beamish Museum

Location very convenient for the Beamish Museum. Free
parking outside the hotel. Friendly staff and good food in the restaurant.
However, the building is in need of a major refurbishment. The bedroom was barely adequate. Only one bedside table, which was cluttered with tea,coffee and the kettle. One of the small milk containers was punctured and the contents were rancid. Television was not properly tuned in and WiFi information was not displayed. The en-suite bathroom was shabby, with a very basic shower. The bed was clean and comfortable. On the second day the rubbish bin was not emptied and coffee and tea were not replenished.

A disaster

The visit was shocking. Couldn't get a parking until 1am in the morning. Yes I was still awake as the room was right above the bar and it was very noisy. No bathroom and toilet in the room, the bathroom was across the room.
The only good thing was the breakfast which was tasteful and the chef was very friendly.
The place is very run down and I think the furniture all over the place was about 100 years old.
Will not go back again!!!

Brighton was a fun venue. Made and drunk lots of cocktails lots of hands on experience which was great.
Only gave 4 stars for service as it would have been good to have been given a rough time and days as all the times and dates given weren't available.

If I'm stopping in a hotel, I like to know my car is nearby. Well, you can't park on the street outside the hotel - there's yellow paint everywhere but what there is, is a locked car park just across the street and you can hire your own parking place in there for £5 per night. You get your own key so you are free to come and go as you please. The room was spotlessly clean and the breakfast was excellent - albeit as an extra. We also had to pay extra for the fact that we were going in the Summer holidays, but again that is understandable. The hotel is well placed within walking distance for places to visit and pretty darn close to the sea front. We also walked to the town without problem, and I walk with a limp these days. There are a few decent restaurants around and one work a visit right on the corner of the road. I can't remember what it is called now - the Bar on the Beach, or something like that and I'd recommend them. There is a bar in the hotel but we didn't visit; we're not bar flies and were either walking taking in the air and the sights or resting watching TV. Would we go again? It's a resounding yes from my wife and I'll go along with that. I'd probably book direct with them though.
