great place to stay if you want to be greeted on arrival by horrible miserable staff whos sticking attitude gets worse over your stay. the actual hotel was fine, you get what you pay for, but will not be staying there again unless they change the staff!

Having stayed in Formule 1 hotels in France and Spain I was interested to see a hotel following the same model in the UK. I stayed mid-week, and found the place very quiet, although it was clearly well occupied. At this price you expect to have a no frills room, so to have a huge flatscreen TV on the wall was an unexpected treat. If you're just looking for somewhere cheap to put your head down, then why pay more.

If you can cope with the shared showers and toilets then you will be quite happy here. we stayed over night easter saturday into sunday.
the staff were very friendly and helpful and gave us extra glasses and cutlery etc on request
the room was a double bed with a big bunk bed running over the top. the sheets were clean and pressed and staff came to check everything was in order when we arrived to the room.
the tv was e n o r m o u s compared to the room size.
the view was of the A 19 and an industrial estate.
but we were only staying two as were going to a family wedding . the savings we made enabled us to have good meals and travel round the area, up to the Angel of the north and to the seaside.
£100 for 6 for two nights. somewhere clean and reasonably comfortable to lay your head after a busy day!
was a bit worried after some reviews but found it quite nice. think it must have been modernised fairly recently.
reminded me of the prefabricated hotel things you have on the continent...just for passing through stays, or for if you are on a course,definitely not for the hoity toity though. lol

great value @ £27 for a triple room... ignore the uncomfy bed claims I slept solid all night.
