Staff friendly and fairly attentive. Andy the bar man was great. Only negatives were due to any lack of identity/ uniform, it was sometimes hard to know who the staff actually were. Coffee/ Fruit juice at breakfast very watery!

Could be better in a derelict town

Nobody was attending the reception desk on our arrival, we had to wait and finally found someone quite nonchalant by the bar. The room had been refurbished recently and presented well, despite the housekeeping not being their principal concern as we found some personal items from the previous occupant. The view from the room was quite concerning and the front of the hotel says it all about the cleanliness and the attention to details. The morning was a lot better with a warm welcoming lady attending the reception desk and looking after the breakfast buffet. This was well presented and of good quality.

Not recommended

It was stiflingly hot on the 3rd floor as the bathroom radiator was on all the time. Luckily there was a fan but did not feel safe to use it all night. There were silver fish in the bathroom and the kettle didn’t work. The bathroom tiles were grubby and the shower didn’t drain so I was standing in an 2 inch pool of water. All in all not somewhere I’d ever choose again .

Second visit. Despite my better judgement, I thought I’d try once more - this time by booking a suite. I opened the door - it was huge! 4m high ceilings. And then the overwhelming smell of sewers. Went to the bathroom, ran the hot water in the sinks bath and shower. Popped the plugs in and hoped it would dissipate. Came back after dinner 2hrs later, the smell was worse. It had filled the whole room. I asked to be moved, and was moved to a standard room. I then asked for the difference to be refunded - I’d paid £90 for the suit, over the £28 for a standard - hoping for a better experience. This proved not possible, and subsequent emails have rendered no response. To add insult to injury - The room had a bin with the previous occupants teabag in and a turd in the loo. I didnt want to leave this account of my stay. If you need to stay in Hartlepool, avoid this place like the plague.

Needs a little more attention to details like a broken blind or no blackout curtains and unusable door chain. Staff do their best and are friendly. Good breakfasts. The bathrooms are big but single beds a wee bit narrow. All in all though really pretty good.
