Excellent location for everything and great value for money!
Pros:

Location and staff were great and very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The only thing is that it can be quite noisy at night due to the pub over the road, but no surprise given the great location.

Pros:

Second time I have stayed here. A cheap and cheerful place to stay. The staff are extremely friendly.

Cons:

Only problem I had is that my tv remote was broken and the tV volume was up that I was unable to change. The staff were unable to resolve the issue immediately but did try their best. TBH as I was out exploring Whitley Bay it was only a minor inconvenience.
