Stayed here for a night in December on a business trip. I had a very good sized room which was clean with a comfortable bed and a decent bathroom. The TV was good and the room had free wifi. Breakfast was continental with just cereal, tea and toast. There was plenty of car parking and next door was a chain... More

If your lucking for luxury look elsewhere. The closest I got to describing it was a run down travel lodge. But for £40 a room what can you expect. It was clean and quiet. Staff seem friendly. Would I recommend - probably not, would I stay again if nothing else was available on a budget I would. More

The worst place we have ever stopped! paper thin walls,outdated decor,filthy bed and bathroom. do ya self a favour pitch a tent on the car park it would be more luxurious! More

I'm an ad-hoc student in Darlington, and this was (by far) the cheapest hotel I found. For the price I paid I am pleased and I think some of the reviews on here are a bit harsh. I have a double room, which is big and has TV, dvd, kettle, 2 mirrors a bath and shower plus a separate armchair... More

Not quite sure what everyone's problem is with this hotel if I'm honest... what do you expect for £40/night? Check-in was painless, the room was dated but cosy, nice old wooden chest of drawers added character to the room. Bathroom was a strange brown colour (not dirty) but everything worked as it should, warm (hot!) water etc. bed and sheets... More

This is, without question, the most disgusting place we have ever stayed. Despite being a non-smoking room it stank of a mixture of cigarettes and port-a-loos and it was so dirty - as an example we found a daddy long legs squashed in the middle of the wall which housekeeping had obviously not felt the need to remove, there was...

We were going to stay the night but eventually decided to go elsewhere. The lift wasn't working, the hotel shop or vending machine as most people would call it, was almost empty. Up three flights of stairs to room which overlooked the A167, we had to open the window as it was really warm and the noise of the traffic... More

At first impression it was an old fashioned place but staff was pleasant. The lift was out of order and I had to walk up 2 flights of stairs to my room. Once in the room, putting my clothes away in the drawer I found a carpet beetle, Only the one, but there must have been more or it wouldn't... More
