Pity the hotel didn’t have parking, only a short walk to St Mary’s multi story, but found a little expensive for an over night stay.

We couldn’t make it to the Holiday Inn, Sunderland as our flight from Belfast was cancelled due to Storm Eowyn. Unfortunately the insurance that Expedia sold me has proved worthless as X Cover have refused to refund our stay, despite clear and unequivocal evidence provided that our flights were cancelled by the airline. Over £350 down the tubes!!!
