2/10 Terrible

If I could give this place a 0 I would. We booked for 14 nights due to a work trip. We ended up spending 1 night in this hotel and left. It was filthy, it was horrid and it was just not up to any standards of a hotel. It seemed like a half way house - disgusting. I have attached some photos. We requested a refund for the 14 days as we only did one day here and we weren't allowed a refund. Expedia wouldn't even refund us. We will not be using Expedia ever again. Do not allow your kids or family to stay here. Absolute dump. Needs knocking down and starting again.

8/10 Good

Great for a quick trip from London to Hartlepool. Bed was comfy. Loo was a little noisy but l sleep with ear buds and eye patch. Green safety light for others could be an issue above the door but not for myself. Ill stay again Ta ":))

This dump should be shut down

Upon arrival I had to ring a number stuck on the door to get the code to get in and told my room number. No reception, no staff in the building. The whole place stunk of weed and stale smoke. Absolutely filthy, not been cleaned in years. No toilet roll in my room and when I finally got through to someone on the phone I was told someone would bring some at 5pm this was at 2.30. I'd say you get what you pay for but the state of the place I feel I should have been paid to stay there. Bed was really lumpy and the pillows was as thin as paper and was filthy. People banging about all night. One of the windows in my room was missing the handle so couldn't close it. No heating or hot water.
Mark, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

We didn't like anything about the hotel it was a dump and we left immediately and stayed at another hotel
Kim, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Very dated could do with painting the room and furniture is falling apart towel had holes in it
Michael, 4-night trip

4/10 Poor

Wasn't obvious where to enter the building. Wasn't made clear that there would be no-one to greet. Upon calling number on the door, the greeting still wasn't friendly. On opening the bedroom.door, first impression was good - tidy, and additional heater (previous accommodation elsewhere was cold!). During my stay, more and more details became apparent and uncomfortable: *Only half a toilet roll, without a holder (so had been previously handled by user(s)), *Only one mug although the room was booked for two people *Barely any coffee (although plenty of tea) *kettle was half-full of water (don't know how old) *carpet had clearly not been vacuumed *Upon getting in to bed (a rather lumpy one), I noticed the bedding smelt badly of mens BO (possibly the quilt, thru to cover, but it was strong) *The single bed (although not booked) had slept-in bedding on *No mention of WiFi anywhere

Visit to Hartlepool

The hotel was good value for money . I had visited this hotel about 10 years and I remember having bed and breakfast ,a full English breakfast in the restaurant. However on my latest visit that all closed . In fact when I got to the door a notice gave me a telephone number to ring so as to.gain entry . It was however adaquate for my two day stay in the town.

Cold shower!

Room was clean and comfortable but a cold shower is unacceptable
Darren, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The hotel was filthy, stain on the pillow case, stained bedside furniture and table. There was an old dirty fridge with a half bottle of water inside. We left straight away. Looking for a refund frim Hotels.com
Stephen, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

In the middle of a badly needed refurb.

The hotel was halfway through a much needed refurbishment, however this meant duvets filled corridors, wet paint on multiple walls and there were still electrical fittings hanging off the walls (including, rather disconcertingly the shower fan switch dangling over the bath). That said, the room was a good size and the staff were friendly.
Will, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Get what you pay for

Overall I suppose you get what you pay for, check in ok involved phone call, room ok, next morning going to get showered, no towels, so tried hot tap on sink for wash no hot water, couldn't get TV to work but only minor problem wasn't sat in room long
Bill, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Tiny room, small bed, no staff around, two of four light fittings broken, only extremely limited choice of TV (only two channels working), very hot room (no AC or fan), more like a hostel than a hotel - not a welcoming place...
Thomas, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

I didn't want to post a negative review but this is several times that I've been chased up. For the price the place is fine but unfortunately the rooms aren't closed after cleaning. On entering the room the toilet was full and the flush wasn't working, not a great problem as a bucket nearby. Otherwise no problems.
David, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Basic hotel but with parking issues

Very basic hotel (which was expected considering the price) and the room was VERY tired looking with what looked like a repaired (but not painted) ceiling and the worst view of any hotel I've ever stayed in. I do have an issue with the parking, It is listed as having parking, which I queried to be told that it was residential on street parking, which would be a problem if I checked in before 6pm or out after 8am, as outside of those times, the parking is permit only.
Richard, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Absolutely disgusting! room hadnt been clean empty bottle of vodka left in room from previous person. Dead flys stuck to wall used sugar packets left on floor. Stained carpets all round dirty room. Bathroom walls cracked. No bar or restaurant open. Will not be returning!
Danielle, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Unacceptable customer service

I got there, knowone to greet us, they couldnt find our booking, so we had to find another hotel last minute, paying extra money we did not budget for. At 2am the hotel emailed, stated they could not facilate a room, and now after 6 days I am still trying to get our money back.
brett, 3-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Room not clean, fire alarm went off at 5.30am, everyone standing outside for half an hour, tried calling both numbers for the hotel and out of hours, no one answered or called back, after an hour standing in the rain with obviously no staff on site we re entered the building potentially risking our lives and got our bags and left, we continued our sleep in the vans… I’m presuming they’re housing homeless as young kids were partying till around 3am in one of the rooms, very noisy - absolutely no good when you need to sleep and have work the next day
2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

On arrival windows wide open. Freezing cold. This was to try and get rid of the smell of damp. Black mould on the walls. No cover on the light. Door handles snapped off. Unable to lock window. No hot water pressure. Lates of dust on bed head. Seat threadbare. No one on reception no staff available on phone. I left. Has to be the worst hotel I’ve ever been in.
Michael, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Don't recommend this hotel to anyone

Only ever talked to the owner by phone, who sent me a text with a room number, to find someone else in that room. Rang up again and he sent a second text for a different room. No towels or cups in the room, rang up again, and we found them left outside our door on our return but only 1 large towel and 1small, and cardboard cups. No hot water at all, in sink or shower for the 2 days we were there. TV remote not working. Other people in other rooms had the same problems - see photo
