The hotel was fine for what was paid for , it’s a busy pub and nice restaurant and feels like the rooms are an after thought not really the focus of the business . The staff were polite , the area was nice with amenities nearby . I would stay again

This is above a pub 2 minutes from the station. Eaglescliffe is a nice place to stay though there isn't much around the station to look at. The hotel is a bit basic but clean and good value for money.

Me and my partner stayed for the weekend and enjoyed the hotel which was very spacious and the bed was comfy. The food in the pub was also amazing and would definitely book again

Very nice location. Nice pub over the road as well as the location being a pub.

The TV did not work and staff unable to fix.
The pub was very basic and did not sell real ale, so I watched TV in the pub without a drink! Rooms adequate but single bed very short for the taller person. Not much in the vicinity, unless you go into Stockton.

Very convenient for the station, basic but fine for my needs, just needed to get my head down ready for a meeting in the morning

The electrics felt like i was going to rip them out of the wall as they were not secured in correctly.
there were huge cobwebs and dust gathered quite a few places.
The shower had a broken hose.
The flap to the chimney bangs every time it is slightly windy so don't bother getting any sleep!!
Where can i add photos?

Great having private access to the rooms, however the stairs are very steep. The room had everything I needed for my short stay but it does feel a little unloved.
I will be back.

Lady doing check in was lovely , super friendly and helpful . Couple of issues resolved quickly after a few laughs . TV positioning and size bizarre . Would recommend displaying WIFI login details in the rooms in future . Room needs a bin , not just a bathroom bin . Good close parking, big spacious room with a nice comfy sofa . Lots of potential in room , but in need of updating .

Ive stayed in some cheap hotels before. But this hotel is probably worst I’ve ever stayed in. There is too many bad things to list.

The cleaner clearly makes a superb effort to make a silk purse from a sow's ear. It was dusted and vacuumed BUT the place stank of cigarette smoke and felt very grubby. Even the key fob smelled.
The windows and sills needed attention, the shower needed a good mould spray and the entrance to the 'hotel' was miserable.
In the photographs I saw pleasant pine furniture and a bright white duvet cover. I got MDF type furniture and dark green sheets. It was very masculine circa 1970.
The ONLY light switch was a piece of grubby string, yeuk! A bedside lamp would have been useful as would some shower wash.
It costs very little money or effort to brighten up a dingy room to make it welcoming. This place missed the mark by a mile.
Never again.

One of the worst places ive stayed, i waa looking for a base to work from when ive got jobs in the area.
Checking in was easy and so was the parking.
As soon as i went through the main door of the accommodation part i knew it was going to be bad.
No working tv.
Foisty smell.
Lights not working properly.
Very dated and dirty bed covers.
I ended up sleeping with my clothes on on top of the quilt.
There are much better places locally.
