Best located hotel in Darlington- in town centre. Friendly staff. Well kept hotel but needs an update, but great value for money as is. Has food and bar options. Parking limited on 1st come 1st served basis, so only got parking 1 of my 2 nights. No free parking in Darlington centre on any day. Still best place to stay in town.

Liked: Cleanliness
Seemingly very short staffed, with one member of staff trying to cook, serve and clear through breakfast on the Saturday morning, meaning many items on the buffet not available. The first room we were allocated overlooks a karaoke bar which was very noisy. They were able to move us to another quieter room which was great, but the room was tiny and very outdated, and down 10 miles of corridor and up and down two lifts, making it quite difficult to remember the route! As hotels go its fine, but pretty tired and run down on the whole.

Ok for a couple of nights
First off, the parking is inadequate. But there is a multistory 5+ minutes walk away. The room was too hot, and was quiet noisy from street noise with a very small double bed. The hotel is in the middle of the main pub area. It does eventually quieten down. Breakfast was ok. No difficulties here. Food was reasonable.
