Need customer focus

Went to a wedding evening and everything was fine until we were woken at 0830 to workmen on the roof (we were in the annex with a flat roof). Then the power went off so no lights to have shower etc. On a positive the wedding reception was great and the breakfast was excellent

The area around the hotel was great, everything was super close and the beach being outside was amazing but the condition of our room was so so poor. The wallpaper was hanging off the wall, the dressing table was barely standing up, the floors were super dirty so it overall felt super run down and unclean

Staff were excellent - very friendly - but bed very uncomfortable/bits of biscuits under both sides of the bed/had to put towel under tap as it wouldn’t stop dripping/looked like blood on the carpet - shabby paintwork/carpets etc/restaurant and food lovely so were the staff again - but upstairs needs renovating - felt like a contractors hotel rather than a seaside stay hotel. Views nice out to sea and the river. Wasn’t expensive but don’t think we’ll stay again!

Excellent!

Comfortable stay for 1 night, reception was welcoming and friendly. We had a 2nd floor room overlooking the park to the rear of the hotel, this was lovely and quiet although the floorboards creaked a lot when walking! Comfy bed and good amenities in the room. Breakfast was excellent, freshly cooked to order and very tasty with a good choice on the menu. All in all a good place to stay in South Shields, the location is excellent for the beach, town centre and great curry houses on Ocean road. We would stay again and recommend.

The location is excellent with good access to beautiful beaches, parks and mamy rerstaurants to suit all tastes. Sadly the hotel had a few glitches. The shaver point did not work and the bedside light stopped working. We were not told that there was no hot food after 8 o clock. Saying that the information is on the website is not good eneough. There was no written information material in the hotel bedrooms about services etc. The kitchen ran out of smoked salmon even though it was on the breakfast menu - on a Bank Holiday weekend! Seemed to suggest a lack of forward planning. This was disappointing as otherwise the nreakfasts were excellent.

Our opinion 7/10

hotel located about 150m from the beach. we had a room oremuim suite with a view of the park on the other side of the street. after entering the hotel and the room we were greeted by an unpleasant smell of "toilet". there is no air conditioning in the room, there is only a fan. at first glance clean, but after looking closer you could see the shortcomings of the cleaning team. morning cleaning unfortunately poor. towels were not changed, they were left on the floor, and a dirty towel was hung on the bathtub instead of a new one. very tasty breakfasts in the form of a menu from the menu. great service, the lady in the restaurant and 2 young bartenders nice and smiling. in our opinion the hotel 7/10

Ok good food and even a early morning alarm call!!

All the staff we dealt with were terrific, helpful and friendly. Food was very good and value for the money. Unfortunately parts of the hotel are scruffy, we were in the annexe, the room was reasonable and clean, outside was very in need of a clean up with lots of rubbish in the car park and outside area. Parking for hotel customers is free and the hotel is handy for the beach and local amusements. The down side to our visit was the fire alarm went of& at 2.30 am and there’s no instructions on the door of the room or anywhere close by, this is illegal ! Disappointing no one explained why the fire alarm went off, we stood in the car park for at least 10 minutes and in the end we had to go into the hotel to find someone to do something about the alarm.
