The hotel has really gone downhill with noisy and small rooms, but surprisingly comfortable. The service was friendly and accommodating, despite some problems. The location was great for visiting the Marina and town. The dining experience was good, but not value for money at times.

Rooms

My room was small but adequate, with a spacious shower room. Not very executive, TV only worked on 1 channel. The decoration had poor workmanship, and the place looked dull and tired, with a blood stain on the sheet and marks on the walls.

The staff were friendly and accommodating, but there were some issues with hot water and limited parking that could lead to fines.

My stay at the hotel started off a bit rough as I wasn't offered a refund for early check-in, leaving me hot and flustered. The room location directly above the sports bar was a downside as it disturbed my sleep at 5 am. However, the hotel's central location was great for exploring the town.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, but I found the receptionist rude during check-in. The location was convenient, but the constant noise outside was bothersome. The dining was a highlight with fantastic value, although I couldn't enjoy the restaurant fully. The facilities were satisfactory.

I had a great stay at this hotel with a fantastic Blue Cross deal of £80 for dinner, bed, and breakfast for two. The room was cozy and had all I needed, including a very comfortable bed and an en-suite with a spacious shower cubicle. However, the room was quite warm, and the noise from outside made it hard to sleep even with the window closed.

The staff was very helpful and friendly, offering a great service throughout my stay. They even provided 'mates rates' for my frequent visits and made our 9th-anniversary special with their discrete assistance during a wedding event.

The hotel's central location in Hartlepool makes it ideal for exploring the city, with the main shopping center just across the road. However, the surroundings lacked much activity, and at times, the area had some unwanted gatherings.

The dining experience was lovely, with a wide selection of breakfast items that included self-service options like orange juice, breakfast bars, fruit, and more. The staff went out of their way to assist with special requests like preparing kippers for breakfast.

I had a great stay at this hotel. The rooms were warm and clean, with a king-size bed and a great breakfast served promptly by friendly staff. However, the hotel's location above a taxi rank on a Saturday night could be noisy. Overall, a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

The hotel offers lovely rooms, but the location may not be ideal due to nearby noise. The service is outstanding, and the dining experience is mixed. Overall, a convenient place to stay with some minor drawbacks.

Rooms
8.0
The rooms were absolutely lovely, modern style and very clean, although they had a stale cigarette smoke smell. We could hear police cars sirens from the back location, possibly due to the proximity to the police station.
Service

The service was excellent overall, with a few instances of eye-rolling in the breakfast area. However, the staff were very accommodating, especially during a difficult time after a funeral.
Location

The location is very central, with easy access to taxis if you prefer not to walk. Many restaurants are within a short distance, and the area near the quays provides a foreign ambiance.
Dining

The dining experience was a mix of good and bad. The food was pretty good and offered fantastic value, but there were issues like cold dishes due to ineffective equipment.
