This hotel is within easy reach of the Metro Centre either on foot or by car. Its location is excellent for walks along the river. It is easily accessed from the A1. The rooms are a bit sparse but comfortable. The breakfast is good. And most importantly for us the place is dog friendly.
It's a Holiday Inn Express. On an industrial estate.
It was clean and tidy and I slept well.
Difficult to get excited about a bog standard hotel.

The hotel served its purpose. It was comfortable enough. Clattering and banging in an adjacent room at 0515 wasn’t a pleasant awakening but not necessarily the hotels fault except maybe the lack of sound insulation. Breakfast in the morning however wasn’t great. It was plentiful but unfortunately the hot food selection wasn’t even warm.
The location was ok, close to the Metro Centre & other shopping options.
The room was a bit tired looking and SO hot, the options are having the heater on or off, theres no thermostat to adjust the room temperature.
The bed was a double which was rather cosy! Probably my fault for not checking that on booking.
Breakfast is included, it was ok. The hash browns were a bit soggy & the bacon was underwhelming.
Staff at breakfast seemed more intent on loudly discussing their lives in the kitchen than being attentive to the guests.
You can buy some drinks & snacks but they dont take cash & charge a preminum - £2.95 for a 500ml bottle of pop felt too much.
