Always hit and miss at this hotel! Paid for a premium room cause I hoped for a good quality bed. Unfortunately didn’t get one, so asked for a mattress topper, 2 mattress protectors were put on! Had to ask again and sort of got a little topper! Good quality beds would just be better. Breakfast was truly awful! The new rules means table service

I was surprised that we had to pay £28 for 48 hours parking when staying in the hotel.Fire alarm went off at 7.15am Monday morning but after sounding for 1 minute it went off and nothing was done.

Thank you for your feedback Neil, apologies that you were disappointed with the parking charges - these are in line with all Durham hotels. Our fire system has a pre alarm therefore the team will receive warning of an alarm initially so that we can investigate fully. I am sorry if this impacted your stay with us.

Liked the convenience of the nearness to the town centre. Didn't like paying for an upgrade and having a view of a building site.
