10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely beautiful hotel stay. Spotlessly clean and lots of things to do whether you just want to kick back and relax in the luxurious spa or get involved in the golf, gym, bowling, shuffleboard etc. Food in the restaurants is really lovely too. We dined in the rib room and the carvery and were very pleased with both. Breakfast was also really good. Can't comment on fusion, hope to be back again soon so we can check them out. Only downside we experienced was the pillows were way to soft. We didn't get a good night sleep for the two nights we stayed. Will bring our own pillows from home next stay."

8/10 Good
"A quiet & comfortable one nights stay & great value for money. Our room was nice & clean, the shower & toilet area appeared recently refurbished. Plenty of amenities in the room & extra tea/coffee & milk etc available from a table in the reception. Self service buffet breakfast was nice decent & plentiful considering it’s included in the room rate, it was very busy at 8.30am but staff managed it Ok. Free parking is another bonus along with the very close proximity to the Metro Centre (easy walk) & not too far from Newcastle. There is a regular bus to/from the Metro Centre & Newcastle just outside the hotel. There is a pub, KFC & Sambuca Restaurant along side the hotel, just a shame the immediate area is becoming a bit untidy with the derelict TGI Friday’s & overgrown hedges/walkways."
