I am a regular visitor, and it serves me well when I am in Newcastle.
Pros:

Didn't have breakfast. It catered well for my needs.

Cons:

Difficulty with security button on lock in Room 7. Refused to depress on many occasions. I could eventually get it to work by jiggling the key.

We were made to feel welcome by all , bar staff , patrons .. convenience to local bus services …
Pros:

We like the hotel and the staff were very friendly and accommodating, just a couple of gripes . We had the ensuite room , we had no bath mat and nowhere to put our stuff in the shower like a shelf for soap and shampoo , I know not 3rd world problems , just more for comfort .. overall the room was nice …

Excellent place to stay.
Pros:

Location and price.

Cons:

The power point was on the opposite side of the room to the bed, so it was difficult to have my phone near my bed.
