Not impressed - couldn't get in - stayed elsewhere
I ended up not staying! On arrival (after a long journey, feeling wet and tired), I spent half an hour standing outside the front door, constantly ringing the phone number on the piece of paper stuck to the door! There was never any answer, and no answer machine, and I could hear the phone ringing inside the hotel, but could see no one. Eventually, a resident at the hotel kindly let me in the front door, and suggested I ring the emergency number, which was displayed on a wall inside. Again, there was no answer, and I left a message on the answer service. I also rang the contact number for the hotel given by hotels.com but again there was no answer, and I left a message. Just as I was about to leave, a cleaner turned up and kindly booked me in and took me to my room. The heating was not on so she said she would turn it on. By this point, I was late for a meeting, so had to leave quickly. I returned later in the evening to find the heating was not on, and knowing it would be impossible to find anyone to sort it out, as well as feeling very uncomfortable and unwelcome in the hotel, I decided to leave and stay elsewhere. If they are going to have a system where you are going to have a phone number on the door to come in, they need to make sure the number works. The cleaner knew that the phone wasn't diverting to the correct number, so why wasn't an alternative number given? Not impressed. Waste of money.

NOT passable. Worst hotel I've stayed in.
Please avoid unless you are absolutley desperate and then only use for 1 night. There is no reception - you have to ring the owner on his number and he will have left key in door for you There is parking over the road in a Clinic car park but its Council run so you need lots of change (reasonably priced) but you will be up at 8 every morning to pay for until you leave. At least passed 1800hrs is free until 08am. Short of pillows, blankets and towels until met up with service lady next AM No heating - she had to get filthy electric heater Black mould Stains of unknown origin everywhere - carpet, ceilings, walls, window blind even inside the picture hanging on the wall. No breakfast or bar but wouldn't eat or drink here anyway - "bar" area smells mouldy Stinks of skunk and cig. smoke breaking fire laws Taps in B/room sink broken and loose The OOHs mobile number given not answered and Owner doesnt answer phone. The maids are freindly but are not given list of whos who so will knock you up each morning to see if you are leaving before 1030. No power to room and no hot water from 10am on last morning. Maid said its not cut off prior to check out so must've been a power cut. Could not shower. Ablutions in the dark on last morning. The only 3 positives were TV working (back missing off remote tho') the Bed was comfy and the shower water was hot when working.

Real life Faulty Towers
A very basic and poorly maintained hotel. Upon arrival 7pm(ish) I was greated with a locked front door and a note on it saying to call the main hotel phone number. A man answered and directed my attention to a key pad on the wall, to type in a code for access and directed to my room. My room was a fair size but very basic. The whole place needs a lot of TLC. Taps were loose, other fixtures and fittings broken. Spot mould on walls and ceiling in bathroom. Signs of water damage on the walls around the window. There wasn't even a spoon with the tea and coffee set. Stiring my tea with my car key had to do. I managed to trip both the sockets and lights breakers when attempting to turn on the towel rail. An hour wait for the breakers to turned back on wasn't great. Especially, when I was told someone would be there in around 15-20mins. And to top things off, I got woken by drunken couple, in a neighbouring room, arguing and slamming doors at around 1:15am, which went on till gone 3am. So, all I can say is stay well away

I didn't want to post a negative review but this is several times that I've been chased up. For the price the place is fine but unfortunately the rooms aren't closed after cleaning. On entering the room the toilet was full and the flush wasn't working, not a great problem as a bucket nearby. Otherwise no problems.

Hotel was easy enough to find from the train station. Upon arrival, reception un-manned and a phone number to call to gain access. Restuarant, bar and other facilites not open and seemingly untouched for years, all seemed very un-secure. Room was open with key on bed, not hoovered and hald eaten condiments. No tea or coffee facilites and masking tap round he floor in bathroom where decoration had taken place? Overall very grimey and dirty albeit bedding seemed clean enough. Does anyone actually manage this property? No staff present at all and seemed like no care or attention given to this hotel for many many years. Speaking with locals, their response when mentioning where we were staying was somewhat to be desired. Honest review, do not book this hotel until it has been closed, refurbished and rightly cared about.

Visit to Hartlepool
The hotel was good value for money . I had visited this hotel about 10 years and I remember having bed and breakfast ,a full English breakfast in the restaurant. However on my latest visit that all closed . In fact when I got to the door a notice gave me a telephone number to ring so as to.gain entry . It was however adaquate for my two day stay in the town.

Basic hotel but with parking issues
Very basic hotel (which was expected considering the price) and the room was VERY tired looking with what looked like a repaired (but not painted) ceiling and the worst view of any hotel I've ever stayed in. I do have an issue with the parking, It is listed as having parking, which I queried to be told that it was residential on street parking, which would be a problem if I checked in before 6pm or out after 8am, as outside of those times, the parking is permit only.
