    While I appreciate the Boss concert pushes prices up, I felt it was a bit steep. Some parts of the building and car park are tired looking and in need of some maintenance. The toilet in our room struggled to flush loo roll !

    Room size & breakfast first class. All the staff we encountered were great. Pool & spa facilities helped to make the stay.

    My wife and I are both over 80 years old and having a room on the third floor at the far end of the hotel was a bit of a strain occasionally.

    The room was good and the bathroom excellent. The staff were extremely good and very helpful. My wife felt unwell on the penultimate day and we left a day early. The final night's charge was refunded which was unexpected but gratefully received.

    Our room was booked quite late and so I can understand why the room was best available- outside our window was a very noisy extractor fan -I did enquire about alternative room and was right away offered another room - lovely with a sea view but smaller so we stayed in our original one - the fan went off at 9pm so it wasn’t actually an issue in the end - but again staff were super helpful throughout

    Location is great, staff are super, nothing is too much trouble the hotel is dated but that’s a good thing… our room was huge, with 2 comfortable double beds- bathroom had a shower and a bath. Breakfast was lovely , plentiful and was served until later than advertised Pool & gym included in the price - amazing! And great facilities within … even had a swimwear drier .. what a treat!!

    We planned to use the swimming pool but didn’t as the pool was occupied with a swimming group. Not really a problem.

    Room, breakfast and location were all excellent. We were happy with the original room, but upgraded to one with a view of the sea, which exceeded our expectations. The staff were wonderful and we were very happy with our stay in Sunderland.

    The lifts were a little awkward for my dad. But should have asked for a room on a lower floor.

    Location really good and view from the room were great. Staff were very helpful and food at the restaurant was good. Easy parking a bonus.

    The lounge bar area whilst good was less attractive, lighting could benefit from a rethink as it was cold looking and functional providing little atmosphere. We tend not to use that area.

    Ambience of hotel, good breakfast. Staff helpful and courteous.

    I have noticed that the dog friendly rooms could do with an updating. The door to our room needed repainting and the room was a bit shabby. We would love a room with a view but always seem to get the same location in the hotel because we are taking our dog! People cause more damage than dogs!

    Excellent location with great facilities. Love the fact that this hotel is doggy friendly.

    Was a bit on the warm side for me as heating on and couldn't control temp. To be fair I didn't say anything I just opened the windows which helped a little.

    Big spacious room with sea view.
