the location is near the river tyne. my room had attractive decor and comfortable bed. staff are friendly, so i found the lady greeting me to be nice and cute. they have reasonable priced meals and drinks.
the lock to MY room was hit and miss, it worked whenever it fancied. i worried because the locks not working, i jammed a chair against the room door handle. the bathroom blind was broken with mould. there was also an electrical cable hanging above the bath.

underwhelming stay, needs attention
scalding hot shower peeling paint
The room was not great. the shower temperature couldn't be adjusted. It was scalding. the bathroom radiator had peeling paint and rust. the food was also overpriced. Breakfast ended up costing quite a bit for very little value. i mean, come on!

helpful staff comfortable bed convenient pub cracked paint inconsistent hot water weak wifi
The staff were helpful , and they quickly assisted me with my luggage. My room had ample space and a very comfortable bed. I found the pub onsite to be lovely , and it was so convenient for grabbing a meal.
The room had some cracked paint , and it looked a bit worn. The hot water was not consistent , and this made showering difficult. The WiFi signal in my room was weak , and it was hard to connect sometimes.
