This is a low quality hotel, but good for a stop-off if you are looking to stay over en route to somewhere else... or if quality is not your major concern. It is very similar to a motel, it is basic in decor and amenities. The staff are friendly enough and the access to the motorway and then up to Newcastle or Sunderland is great. It is not luxury, but at this price what is to be expected? The rooms are large, but basic. The bathrooms are very basic and the general feel of the place is cost reduction. Needs a lick of paint but on the whole it was a decent place to sleep. Allows dogs, bar is good. Breakfast very good.
