They found our passport in the room when we checked out but extended our stay in another room. The hotel did not call us and had it over to us when we were still staying at the property. After we exited Durham to London ,we had to come back a day later and collect our passport .It was an Expensive Inconvenience…

A nice quiet place to rest on our journey up north. The staff was helpful, the beds were comfy, and the room was unexpectedly large for England. Breakfast was delicious. Only bad part was that there were not enough usb charging ports by the bed, but it’s not a big deal. Probably our best stay on our England trip.

Expedia website was not upfront about the £11 per night parking charge. The hotel was a bit of a maze to get to room(lift, corridor, ramp, stairs, corridor). Typically soulless corporate hotel.

Has the potential to be much more, parts are very tired and our room was quite noisy. On check in the young male receptionist was brilliant and went above and beyond, his female counterpart was, in complete contrast, surly and rude. Breakfast was disappointing.

OK'ish stay

The mattress was worn and has seen better days probably a few years ago already. The airconditioning vents were exceptionally dusty - a hayfever challenge as they are blowing at the entry door and above the bed itself. The breakfast was overpriced for the quality provided. Not real value for money when compared to equivalent hotels in Newcastle or York
