Jay

The staff were ok, very minimal interaction, room was clean bed was reasonably comfortable, although the shower mat had pubic hair under it and there was no hot water both in the shower and from the sink!! not good when wanting a shower. the toilets were shared so other guest not cleaned after use!!. There is no parking at the property but the local carpark was free after 5pm so not that much of a worry. i wouldnt stay again but for 1 night it was ok. location is great any easy to get too.

Central pub with rooms.

A nice pub with rooms which is perfect for all the shops, pubs and restaurants in Stockton. Stayed on business so ideal - nice staff, easy quick check in and out. Parking is free after 5pm on the streets outside.
