The staff were very friendly and the room was a decent size with a nice bathroom. Breakfast was alright, although I think the breakfast should be free for all guests as its a small buffet with a very limited variety and it's the same breakfast each morning. The big issue is that the hotel is not very accommodating. A washer & drier is advertised but you are not told until you are there that you have to pay for a separate cleaning service that takes a day or two to clean your clothes at an extra up charge. The car park was extremely small and again you shouldnt have to pay to park your car at a hotel you are paying for.. we could not get parked throughout our stay and spent far more than intended on parking expenses due to this, its hugely inconvenient. Another issue we faced was the lack of cleanliness. We stayed here for a week and during that time housekeeping did not vacuum, change our bin, put new bed sheets or pillowcases on, put out new cups and the surfaces were dusty. They would only bleach the bathroom and make the bed. On the brightside, the location of the hotel is great, right in the town centre and very safe with restaurants and supermarkets close by.

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.

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.
