Shortland Budget Accommodation
Staff were great. There is a kitchen there but I didn't use it. I ate in the evenings and was very good value. It was very good value for money and my room and bed was fine. It had a kettle in the room.

Jesmond Executive Villas
Unit was comfortable, quiet and pristine but stainless steel bin in bathroom had rusty lid which rather detracts from the overall impression. Ironing board cover thin and stained and needs replacing

NOAH'S On The Beach
Booked a city room but was upgraded to an ocean view which was much appreciated. Dinner ends too early but they tried and fitted us in and food was nice. BUT breakfast is awful - poor quality and limited selection not worth paying for. I’d stay again but would leave the hotel for breakfast.
