Grainger Hotel

Hotel was ok except for a brief alarm going off at 8am. I didn’t spend much time there, but it was a trek from train station. No complaints really

Great experience

Possibly the worst hotel I have ever been in EVER! Possibly the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Staff were friendly enough but this hotel is a dilapidated, run down, uncared for place. 1. Rain ingress through the window frame. In room 204, the bed is directly under the window, so being woken up by dripped on (which soon became worse) was not pleasant experience. So much so that I had to move the bed and set up water collection where the rain was coming through. Pictures below. 2. Damaged electrical sockets 3. Carpet had been burnt in places 4. No wardrobe 5. No Chair to use as chairdrobe 6. There was a chest of draws, but filthy 7. Loo roll holder MIA 8. Holes where things have clear be broken off 9. TV had crack right across the screen 10. Mattress was knackard, with springs making for an uncomfortable nights sleep (on top of being woken by rain ingress) If I hadn't been so worn out from the travel and Great North Run, I'd have left. If I could offer anybody reading this some advise, consider the points above before booking
