Overall Rating

Average

Premier Inns in my experience are much of a muchness but I choose to comment on this one on account of the restaurant (better than Derby last year) and the bathrooms (ditto).

Disabled Access In and Around

Average

Apart from the odd incline, the interior was all level access. Corriders were a bit narrow and turns rather tight for wheelchairs; rooms however were a good size.

Parking & Transport

Poor

Best to arrive by road as the venue is somewhat difficult to find (and can be confused with Sunderland North up the road. However, once there the car park is perfectly adequate with several disabled spaces.

Accessible Toilets

Average

Dotted regularly around the place and a decent size too, as with the ensuite facilities in the rooms.

Staff

Good

If you'll excuse the stereotype - typical Geordie; friendly, helpful and apparently efficient.
