The hotel left a lot to be desired. The room had a disappointing view of the car park and needed some TLC, but the service was exceptional and efficient. The location was a beautiful surprise in a quiet neighborhood, and the dining experience was excellent. Although the room was not ideal, the overall service and location made up for it.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room, though compact, was spotless and had all the essentials for a short stay. However, it got uncomfortably warm inside despite the cooler weather outside. The service was a bit inconsistent, with some staff going above and beyond while others seemed perplexed by basic requests. The location was a hidden gem, although a bit tricky to find at first with the complex road layout. The dining options within South Shields were enjoyable but may require navigation assistance without GPS. Overall, the hotel provided good value for a short stay.

The hotel is conveniently situated for easy access to Newcastle and South Shields, offering a warm and cozy room facing the front of the building. The staff were courteous and skilled, going out of their way to accommodate requests. Despite minor inconveniences like the noisy main exit door, the overall experience was pleasant and good value for money.

The dining experience was appetizing, but there was limited choice in how the eggs were cooked, and communication on breakfast timings could be improved.

While the property had convenient parking to the rear, there were issues with the shutters and bed configuration that could use some attention.
