Bluebell Lodge- Middlesbrough

Was clean, beds comfy & very good fry-up ..Think the hotel needs to purchase more sturdy juice dispensers at breakfast time as very flimsy. Dinner- both times requesting dessert was told none… either say at time if ordering or have a board saying.. also didn’t appreciate all tvs very loud when eating - surely there could be a seperate place for peace to eat dinner without tv?

Parking was great. Plenty of it and just register on tablet at reception to ensure no charge. Didn’t eat in property as there was a wedding reception going on and very busy. Room was adequate and good for budget price but with a few upgrades could be so much better. Bed was comfortable and clean. The shower screen needed a deep clean as there was mould in the rubber seals and some corroded metal parts on it too. Overall we had a comfortable, undisturbed night.
