Dissapointed with rate:value ratio. Advertised room did not reflect received accommodation.
Pros:

Location was good to my event venue and the room was tidy and clean. Staff were courteous and helpful.

Cons:

No A/C or TV in room - on check-in requested by staff to sign an acknowledgement of this. Luckily, being winter at the time of stay not having A/C was not as big an issue as it would be if we were in the middle of summer. Lack of these facilities was not identified in the listing on booking.com - I felt this was deceiving.

The advertised King bed was a double. As I was staying alone I could adjust, but when expecting a King bed and receiving something less it was dissapointing. For the rate paid I could have chosen another hotel/motel that provided both A/C and a TV.

If staying on a weekend don't expect to get to sleep too early the music from the hotel was very loud.

Cheap and Clean. GR
Pros:

The Priority: Bed and being dark and quiet at bed 🛌 ⏰️ time!
I've eaten here before. The food is okay.

The 1 room with a shower and toilet would be the deluxe room which will cost you $30 plus. Use. The SHOWER ROOM....men's & women's, are clean, modern looking and offer privacy from the already quiet accommodation area.

Cons:

No KETTLE OR ACCESS TO Hot Water.

The GR represented good value for money. Location suited me fine, with family living nearby.
Pros:

A clean and tidy basic pub room.
The shared bathrooms had been recently renovated and were in excellent condition.
Upstairs guest lounge had been freshly painted and carpeted.
We had a family dinner in the dining room one evening -- meals were good and staff very friendly :)

Cons:

There were no tea-making facilities in the room, nor was there a communal kitchenette where house guests could make a cup of tea or coffee. The bar staff did kindly offer to make a coffee for me whenever the bar was open, but this wasn't very practical -- especially at 6am in the morning when I'd just woken up, was hanging out for a cup of tea, and was still in my PJs !! I solved the problem by buying my own kettle at Big W in Jesmond.

Cons:

I didn't realise how little was in the room until arriving. No TV, no electric jug, no where to make a coffee, only a bed that was so soft on one side it felt like I was rolling or sliding sideways all night. Uncomfortable. Only parking was on the street.
