Decent hotel worth a stay

Good hotel with a restaurant and bar, so plenty of facilities. Tidy and clean. Rooms decent, all what you need but nothing particularly special. Out of centre so need car or taxis to go into centre. Some noise between rooms but not too much.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort

We stayed he for 4 nights possibly on the hittest days of the year, no fan was offered and was unbearably hot for sleeping, sheets of towels were not changed even thiugh i left the note on the door handle to do so. Theres no fridge so had no way if keeping drink cold. The rooms are not very big, and having the window open you could hear the tv and talking in joining rooms. One bonus is the buses pass by into Durham and further afield and run frequently and late.
