Misleading to charge extra to use the pool

Not impressed. It is very misleading that they charge an extra fee per day to use the health club facilities, but the hotel picture is of the pool! They want you to book direct by all means. I did not notice the surcharge coming up in the description as you have to scroll all the way down to see it. Room was OK, both shower and sink starting to clog. Staff at the entrance was not friendly at all, she said they have nothing to do with the pictures Hotels.com choose to promote the hotel. Not a full restaurant on-site, if you want to use the cafe you need to go to the health club which is a different building and they make you sign in to enter. Will not be coming here again. It is a pity as the Darlington branch is beautiful, staff is super friendly but this one misses the mark.

The staff were excellent. Really friendly and professional. However, after booking, you find out the gym is an extra £15; per visit! Had a filthy hand towel in my room. The tap came off the sink and the toilet didn’t really flush. Mixed bag.

Working Away

Receptionist very friendly and helpful, breakfast and snacks served in the leisure suite - separate building. The rooms were RED hot, too warm. I had very noisy guests above me, the hotel couldn’t change that. But it did sound like a heard of elephants were above me - all night. Shower rather than a bath, shower is a power shower and was good, Elemis body wash and hair wash in rooms Hotel very central for North East and easy access to A1/major routes

Hotel was okay itself, the spa may as well be completely separate business. 1 mins walk from hotel. Lots of paperwork to do on computer if you want to utilise day pass of spa facilities at £15 a go. Facilities were okay. Breakfast and cafe wasn’t great in truth. Close by was a Dunelm cafe much better.
