The room we were was so noisy overnight, I dont know if it was someone turning a hot water tap on, flushing a toilet or boiler going off every 30mins or so, so hardly got any sleep, if i had been staying more than one night I would have asked to move rooms. Sound proofing terrible, could hear next door having a normal conversation. Room was pretty basic and small for the cost too. Breafast was included and was ok, nothing special, but ok. Dog friendly which was great as we both had a dog with us, however not really the hotels fault, but letting 3 small dogs staying in one room maybe a problem as yapped all night and when i was letting my dog out for a wee in the morning on a lead, all 3 dogs came running down the corridor off lead out of a room, yapping, scared my dog so much, should be clearly told dogs on a lead at all times out of room, and maybe only one dog per room. Never thought I would say a hotel can be too dog friendly? Otherwise hotel was nice, and situation to Durham perfect.
