Holiday Inn Express, Newcastle upon Tyne Centre

A return stay after visiting the Northumbria Coast. I don't think this stay was as good as the first one. The shower gel had run out on the day of arrival and although this was reported it remained empty over the two night stay. Despite this, it was a comfortable stay with good facilities and a good choice at breakfast.
