OK
Pros:

The room was clean and the place is convenient for the station

Cons:

A bit soulless. It was a place to sleep but not much more and a bit expensive for what it was

Comfortable stay close to the train station
Pros:

Fabulous location, close to the train station and central to Darlington. Clean and comfortable room. Friendly staff. It was a good choice for me, as a female solo traveller.

Cons:

Stairs to my upper level room were narrow and steep. Would be difficult for someone with mobility issues. Staff did help with luggage, though.

Pros:

Easy access to the town. Quiet location.
The bed was great - best nights sleep I've had in a hotel for ages.

Cons:

When I arrived I was given a room with no bed linen, but its a very minor 'complaint' because it was all resolved very quickly and with a laugh and a smile.

Pros:

The rating on my original research matched what I found when visited. Staff friendly, helpful, location to the train station easy. Oh, £3.30 a pint, decent menu.
