I stayed a night here on business. It was pleasant on the seafront. I had a room that was fine but overlooked the car park and council estate at the rear.The room was really hot and the windows could only be opened a couple of inches. The restaurant was pleasant and the set dinner "a taste of the North" was... More

Stayed here for 1 night. Reasonable amount of on site parking. Warm welcome given a suite with a sitting area at the end of a corridor with a sea view. Great bed and decent bathroom. Poor weather meant we dined in and it was fine. Bar with service, can be a rarity, friendly waitresses. Good price too for the standard.

Booked in for an overnight stay, this in a great location, we had large pleasant looking room and eventually a friendly welcome. Overnight our room turned into a sauna with no visible means of controlling the temperature, and after a sleepless night we were ready for a leisurely breakfast. Unfortunately the female staff in the dining room seemed indifferent, the... More

This is the 4th 4 star hotel I have stayed in this year. Booked 2 rooms. Paid over £400. Stopped at Sunderland Marriott nights of Sat 25th and Sunday 26th May. Sat night fine, Swim Sunday am was excellent, breakfast fine and effficient. Here for family birthday which went really well on Sunday afternoon. Monday morning swim excellent. Hot tub... More

Can't review the hotel from an overnight stay point of view but for somewhere different to dine its a must! I suspect it suffers from it not being very welcoming to non residents - you have to negotiate a barrier and wander into the car park to get in - but the staff are friendly and welcoming and the food...

Stayed here for a girly weekend. great location on the seafront handy for a stroll along the beach. close to some excellent restaurants. a short bus ride from sunderland town centre. The pool and spa was a great bonus,very well maintained. The room was large with everything we needed. will definately stay again

My colleague and I stayed here for one night - at check in we were told the resteraunt was closed due to an earlier incident in the day ! The room itself was a double double superior which was nice and big with two double beds, mine was fine but my colleagues was sagging at the bottom, but overall we... More

A bit of a mixed bag - lots of good points including spacious rooms, great views, location and staff friendliness. The rooms are very big and decor quite attractive but some of the communal areas are a bit outdated and showing their age. On the positive side we found the spot perfect for visiting Sunderland and within walking distance for... More

You tend to know what you re getting with a chain hotel, this is no exception. It is an ugly building, like a few others on what is a lovely bit of coast. However, inside it I fine, and the staff are great. My room, overlooking the beach was massive. It was spotless too. It is a really good option... More
