Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We stayed in an upgraded room which was fantastic except the shower pressure was diabolical. Breakfast was amazing, bed was really comfortable, staff were wonderful. We stayed in a non upgraded room a day before this stay and the shower was amazing but the room was really tired. Again the bed was super comfy and brekkie wonderful.

Bluebell Lodge- Middlesbrough

Was clean, beds comfy & very good fry-up ..Think the hotel needs to purchase more sturdy juice dispensers at breakfast time as very flimsy. Dinner- both times requesting dessert was told none… either say at time if ordering or have a board saying.. also didn’t appreciate all tvs very loud when eating - surely there could be a seperate place for peace to eat dinner without tv?

Great value, g

Great hotel, I've stayed before and I commented that it needed a little bit of work, well, they are doing a lot of work on the rooms. Ours had a fantastic new bathroom. Food was great as usual. Will be back again sometime. Thank you : )

Booked last minute and the staff were super helpful. Breakfast doesn’t start until 7am, but I had to hit the road early—so they made me two sausage and bacon sandwiches to take with me! Really great service. I’d definitely stay again.
