Not the best night sleep

The room was relatively comfortable but street facing so I was kept awake by people racing motorbikes on a Saturday night on the street outside which wasn't great (this would be worse on a bit day if you needed to keep window open) The room was also very small, I literally couldn't open my suitcase which for the price wasn't great (though I appreciate it was Great north run weekend so prices are higher). Toilet was also very loud. On the plus side the staff were friendly, well located for great north run finish.

Arrival was swift and easy, then shown to room in building next door, which wasn't a problem. Room 17 pretty small, small bathroom and sink in the bedroom. All looked clean and tidy apart from the seat at the desk and the information booklet which both need attention.

The room that we booked was not as advertised on the website, we chose a superior double as not too many stairs but the room we were given was another flight of stairs up. Had to phone the hotel number as no one available to talk to in person but in saying that was quickly resolved and a ground floor room was thankfully available. I mentioned website as also advertised a lounge/bar for guests but this apparently had not been open since Covid! Suggested website requires updating. Breakfast included was a continental only unless upgraded for £15pp for hot food. Continental was sufficient.
