Mediocre and over priced

The hotel itself was clean, the staff were great and the bed was comfortable however our room was very dated, small and the bath was incredibly creaky. The quality of the breakfast was alright but it was Luke warm at best which let it down. Overall it was fine but you can get better at a lot cheaper rates.

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.

The room and bathroom weren't the cleanest. Alot of hair on the floor. Grubby around the shampoo etc. Food was decent and service in restaurant was nice but it was really really slow. 90 minutes for 2 courses and only about 3 other tables in.

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.

The Perfect Hotel.

The perfect hotel! Room 229, more like an apartment than hotel room. All spotless, and extremely helpful staff. Breakfast was usual buffet style woth plenty of other options if needed. Local for everything that was needed myself as well.

From my first interaction, I sensed that guests who are non-white or speak English with an accent may not receive the same warmth as others. While the front desk staff greeted the white guests ahead of me with friendly conversation, the male clerk (Gavin) became noticeably less cordial when it was my turn. He also failed to mention that housekeeping services must be specifically requested. Because of this omission, my room was not cleaned the next day — which I initially accepted without complaint. However, on the following morning when I requested housekeeping from a female clerk, she raised her voice and asked, “Did you book the housekeeping service?” When I explained that no one had informed me of such a policy, she offered a short, formal apology, yet her manner remained distant. The most unpleasant discovery came when I took a shower and noticed the water nearly overflowing. Upon checking the drain, I found it completely clogged with a large mass of hair from a previous guest (see attached photo). It was clear that the bathroom had not been properly cleaned before my arrival. To add to the discomfort, when I went down for breakfast one morning, I was told that “someone has already used your room number.” Although the staff eventually let me dine, the experience was awkward....

Goid comfy bed in a nice room we were upgraded without extra cost. Wifi a bit patchy when the hotel was busy. No problem at all parking although of course there is the extra cost. Good location for central Durham

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.
