Nice hotel for the price

Nice hotel for what I paid - some of the decor is dated and could do with a freshen up. Staff were very friendly. Next to the main road though so if you have the window open on a hot day you will hear the traffic noise through the night

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Despite being a modern building the were things like uneven floors ( right by a fire door ), also when I checked in was wasked about breakfast and asked if we could decide in the morning, and was told that would be OK. Following morning was told it was not possilbe, in quite frankly an abrupt and not customer friendly manner.

Very nice hotel. Room was bigger than I expected and in very good clean condition. Although on my own, I paid a tiny bit more for the double bed which was a really good size and well worth it. I also reserved a table at the on premise Thai Restaurant. Great food, freshly cooked and nice smiley service from all staff, meant it was a good experience. The hotel bar is very good too. Has a pub vibe about it with TV showing sports etc. Plenty of free parking with no issues at all. Highly recommended for a cost effective stay.

Ok for short stay

In close distance to Durham. Nice Pub and Thai Restaurant on Site. Friendly staff. Let down by bad odour in the guest part and in the room. Next to a busy road means you can’t sleep with the windows open. Very bouncy mattress and uncomfortable pillows.
