Sadly the stay did not start off well being notified that the air conditioning was not working properly. This was the last time we were disappointed the amazing staff were honest and up front, they let us check out the room and make sure it wasn’t going to be too hot for our stay. They also offered complimentary drinks and a meal for the inconvenience which only made the stay even more awesome. The hotel is lovely, great location and close to every thing you need to experience Newcastle at its best.
