We've stayed at this hotel several times before, it's an ideal location for us going to the football in Newcastle or just for a break, we can leave the car and use the metro station a 15 Min walk away. This time we were given room 112, with the standard carpark view!! (We always make a joke, car park view or car park view) The staff were friendly as always when we've been and always took the time to say hello. Rooms could maybe do with an upgrade in terms of lighting etc but an ideal place to put your head down for the night!!
