If self cleaning communal toilets and showers covered in exrement is your thing then this is the place for you.

Also suitable for insomniacs as the noise at night of people running around will mean you won't get bored.

We arrived to find the residents having a fire in the carpark and having a mini party. Sadly we weren't invited so went to the pub.

The night we stayed someone decided to come out of the closest at 5am by shouting his sexual preference and what he would like done to him. Fair play but I just wish it had taken him a few hours more to make up his mind.

On the plus side nobody tried to come into the rooms as others have experienced and the TVs were very modern.

£27 for a twin room. You get what you pay for for everything else there is Mastercard...

After finding ourselves roomless due to a family christening clashing with the Great North Run, we reluctantly booked this hotel - I didn't even dare read the reviews.....

What a pleasant surprise! The staff were friendly & helpful, the room was compact but spotlessly clean, there were tea & coffee facilities in the room (there is a hot drink vending machine in the lobby as well as a snack vending machine) and free wi-fi. The hotel is continental style with toilets & showers situated at the ends of the corridors (these are 'self cleaning' & smelt & looked fresh), hand towels were supplied & there was a wash basin in the room. The hotel is on a retail park, there is a McDonalds over the road & a 24hr ASDA superstore approx 5 mins up the road. We paid £27.50 through laterooms.com, had we booked direct it would have been £24.50 - this was for a family room that slept 3.

A bargain stay & all round great place for an overnight stay.

Positives - clean room, okay mattress, very very cheap
Negatives - very noisy during the night and morning (a dog in the hotel barking, rubbish collections, doors slamming etc.,), limited shared toilet facilities, yes there are large screen tv's in rooms but you cannot get far enough away to focus on them!

we stayed here for 5 days while visting family after reading negative reviews we were pleasently surprised, clean rooms with 50" tv ,hairdryer and teamaking facilitys, there is also toaster and microwaves in the foyer for guests to use and upstairs is a fully fuctioning kitchen if you wanted to prepare meals, the toilets and showers are selfcleaning so always clean. the staff were very friendly and happy to help with extras, very quiet ,comfortable beds what more can you ask for at such a great price.Would definately use again and recommend .
