Premier Inn Hartlepool Marina

place is convenient for business travellers. Hotel is clean and tidy.

The location/view I loved and that made it for me. I had a good nights sleep so that's a bonus. The room was clean and tidy. I would recommend this hotel for its location and I would stay here again myself. On the flip side yes I think the rooms could be updated in terms of being freshened up, new TV's adding (the one I had was outdated). The car parking cost, I am not sure why this is needed for hotel guests as it seems like an extra unnecessary charge to pay. Rather could hotel guests not log their number plate at the hotel reception as the same process at other Premier Inn hotels and not pay this extra change. I paid extra for a room with a view as that was my only available choice. But all rooms do have a nice view. They just have different views and be aware that rooms over look the car park. I think the extra room charge is not unnecessary really. I was away for my birthday so we tried the restaurant right next door to the hotel. The meal was not good at all and it totally spoiled my birthday meal. I would strongly advise not eating at this restaurant. As it was hot weather at the time of my stay there were a group of teenage kids jumping into the marina water, playing loud music, dancing, chatting for hours and left rubbish behind. I could see and hear all of this outside my room window. It did spoil my getaway a little bit but it did stop later on in the evening when it got dark. But it would have been nicer had they not been there at all and also if the hotel had stopped this situation from going on.

This Premier Inn appears to be long overdue a refresh. Stained carpets in the hallways and peeling paint on the balcony railings add nothing to the experience. The view of the old west dock through the peeling paint on the window bars was depressing rather than uplifting, certainly not worth the extra tenner for a room with a view. Breakfast in the attached Brewers Fayre was an abysmal buffet style affair, whatever happened to cooked to order?
