Ok stay little improvement needed in some areas

Booked a room for a Saturday night with it being a Saturday I did expect to have a disturbed sleep with people returning after afew drinks, I didn’t hear a peep from anywhere slept right through until the seagulls woke me up in the morning. The good - really nice spacious room with dressing table, full length mirror, free toiletries, I really appreciated the kettle and tea/coffee/milk in room, nice comfortable bed, really friendly staff, great location close to the sea and town centre, it does have everything you would need from a stay but in an honest review which I hope the hotel takes onboard rather than as criticism is I personally feel that a deep clean is needed, there was a clump of hairs behind the door in the bathroom obviously getting missed if they open the door to clean the floor and don’t go behind the door, cobwebs on the window and behind the radiator I don’t think has been touched since the building was built and no mention of the building work/scaffolding taking place outside my room during my stay which would of been nice to have been notified out of curtesy but overall I was happy with my stay it provided a comfortable stay for my onward travel plans and I would return in the future just a little tweak needed in my opinion

Got there early for check in and was able to access my room. Fantastic breakfast , very friendly and attentative staff. The hotel may be slightly dated but its clean and offers good value for money. Also, is there a better location right next to funfair and the great beaches.

Lovely central hotel

The Sea Hotel was lovely, very central in South Shields and the staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was ideal offering a good choice. I was unlucky in that the room next door had a guy with an annoying voice who talked loudly and kept me awake until 1.30am, showing no consideration for fellow hotel guests. Nothing to do with the hotel of course, just bad luck being next door to an idiot!
