Pros:

My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights midweek in Sept 26. We enjoyed the short break very much. We had initially priced up another hotel in Middlesbrough that had similar facilities ( pool, steam room etc )and we had stayed at before but the Middlesbrough hotel was twice the price of this place. Facilities are excellent and all staff friendly. Breakfast was great with lots of options.

Cons:

Nothing really.

Good place
Pros:

The inc pool, steam room, jacuzzi, sauna,

Cons:

the smell in the changing room was awful., lockers need sorting.
Breakfast was good, lots to choose, did vegetarian sausages 2 nd morning as we should have mentioned it on arrival. Staff pleasant, helpful, plates cleared quickly.
Speed at which food was prepared in the bar ( over 30 mins) we left and got a refund.
2 nd night ordered a 12 inch pizza, got two small ones in 12 inch box, 🤷🏻‍♀️ although it was tasty.
Noise from hallway was awful, could see daylight through the door. Noise from upstairs room was a nuisance, it can be heard through the vent in the bathroom too.
Don't like the sliding glass door to go into the bathroom, noone wants to hear your partner doing their business. TV remote wasn't working properly. Small things but it still had an impact on our stay.

Overall a lovely stay in a handy location for my onward journey the next day.
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent in every way.
The bed was very comfortable.
The room was nicely decorated and furnished.

Cons:

The lights above the headboard were too close to the pillows. I bumped my head on them a couple of times!

The charge for parking has been recently introduced and was not welcomed at £6/night.

Ok but a couple of issues
Pros:

The pool and gym were nice extras although air conditioning wasn't working in gym

Cons:

The staff were nice except for one who wouldn't let us on the bar with our 15 year old son, even though the night before he we were allowed (different staff) Also the toilets run on an old system so do not flush very well.

The restaurant was noisy and the food was average. Breakfast was ok. TV didn't work so informed reception who told me maintenance would fix it the following day, they didn't, Ended up repairing it myself.
