Darlington stay

Good location but because it is central it is also noisy being able to hear the outside, so be prepared for street/town central noise. Greatful that a fan was already provided in the room. Very helpful staff and Easy to check in and out. A good stay overall.

Clean and comfortable but nothing special !

The hotel room was clean and tidy. The beds are extremely comfortable. The room itself was extremely small and having to get 2 lifts to your room is absolutely crazy in my opinion for a hotel of this size. Overall I believe the hotel is “not bad” but it’s certainly nothing special. If anything I believe the price paid for one night was a little steep all things considering.
