South Shields Hotels with Airport pickup service

Overall I very much enjoyed my stay here with the exception of breakfast which I will come back to in a moment. The hotel is so beautifully situated overlooking the water and one can have a lovely walk along the shore to the beach. Staff were very friendly and helpful at all times. My room was clean and had everything needed including a good view. Evening meal of cod and chips was excellent. The only big disappointment was breakfast. I asked for vegetarian sausage but was told I would have to wait 20 minutes (and I was in a hurry to get to a meeting so could not wait) so opted for other vegetarian things which were very poor indeed - tinned tomatoes, rubbery tasteless muchrooms and rather sweet baked beans. I then wanted decaff coffee but all they had was a tin of instant. Breakfast standard could be much improved but other than this, I enjoyed the hotel very much.

My wife and I have stayed at this hotel about half a dozen times in the last 12-15 years in former Marriott days and now under the Elite Selection label. We have always loved its location and found it a good base forlocal and regional visits. We feared standards would fall under the present owners, but, although some economy measures are evident, the accommodation and decor have improved markedly over the last 12 months, and the staff are unbelievably friendly and helpful. We found receptionist Ronnie exceptionally friendly and facilitative, and nothing was too much trouble for housekeeping staff Ellie and Wilailak. The latter endeared herself to our grandchildren by responding to their teasing and joining in their little games. Everywhere was very clean and the food was plentiful. The pool and jacuzzi were a welcome afternoon base after spending the morning at the South Shields marine park and then the extensive funfair across the road. The following morning we went successfully searching for sea glass on Seaham's beaches.

Absolutely awful stay. We were in room 1 in the annex, this was a disabled room and the wheelchair support in the toilet was hanging off the wall. We met the room cleaners leaving our room, no cleaning equiptment, all they did was make the bed. We got a drink in the bar, at 10.45pm the bar staff said drink up, I asked for more drinks to be told they'd turned the pumps off. We were told the bar closed at 11.00 and we were residents so dont get why that happened. Staff were sat by the entrance wrapping cutlery in napkins, hardly hygenic when the pulblic are trooping past. No doors opened automatically for the wheelchair, it took two people to hold them open,this was a big problem and needs addressing. A male member of staff came in with fish and chips and sat eating them where customers should be sat,he should have used the staff room. We had a room for 3 and only 2 cups, no milk or coffee so we had to ring reception. The air con didn't work, non of the doors in the annex are soft close and they slammed all night, this was staff members who live on site and dont speak much english. We left the hotel at 5.30 am on our last night due to being kept awake all night, I asked the man on reception ( he struggled to understand my query) if we could possibly have a sandwich each or something for breakfast ( we'd paid for it) to take on our journey home,he said no chef until 7.00am, Im sure he knew how to make a sandwich. The grounds were filthy,clothes hanging from railings, dead ants, litter and cigarette butts and weeds everywhere. This hotel needs condemming, We have never stayed anywhere as bad in our lives. Absolutely horrendous. Not one postitive thing to say about it.

Just returned home from a 3 night stay. Welcomed by a nice lady who showed us how to use the keyless system then we were left to it. Our room was a superior on the 1st floor, easy to get to up a few steps. The room was average sized with a fairly comfortable bed and a nice sized shower. Unfortunately 2 mornings the water was cold. I don't mind a cool shower but many won't. A few *******. The back of the wall on the toilet unit had a golf ball size hole in it which was sharp, and there were the odd cobweb. Only 2 portions of milk and one ginger biscuit (at least leave 2) Nothing to write home about. The bed was comfortable and there were nice big windows that could be opened to let the world in. A fan, hairdryer kettle etc and there was Netflix & a Google smart speaker which was very handy. Excellent location and yes, it can be a bit noisy but it's on a main street. The smells were amazing coming from all the restaurants. There was a little bar which the owners state could be utilised for a drink if you ask but I think they may be missing a trick by not using it as a selling point? Parking is plentiful around the place, the most you have to walk is a few yards ( and I have a blue badge). Thanks for having us Overall a lovely stay. Thank you

All very good for what we paid, No problems. Enjoyed our stay

Even though the hotel is large and busy, it was a pleasant, relaxing stay. The location is a bit remote if you don't have a car, but the staff arranged good local taxis and directed us to the nearest Metro station.The rooms are good basic standard,the health club and pool are excellent and the bar-lounge has a well-organised bar and lots of TV screens to watch sport, including a nice side area with a big TV screen set up like a mini-cinema.The only moan was the breakfast - the scambled egg was very watery, the fried eggs were oily - the bacon sausages and beans were OK but the potatoes looked unappetising. The croissants and toast were fine, though, and the coffee machine did a good job - can we have a wider variety of fruit next time we come, please? All in all, I would recommend the Village as a pleasant, affordable place to stay with excellent facilities. We'll cetrainly come back when we're passing through Newcastle.

Squeaky clean room, delicious breakfast, truly friendly and helpful staff! This was my second visit, and I’ve already booked my stay for September 2025! Fabulous that it is so close to the Metro and seafront, and I enjoyed the wonderful Fish & Chips Shop on the corner!

I cannot rate the Whitemare Pool Travelodge highly enough. The team at the hotel looked after us as Great North Run competitors so well. They put on a breakfast in the morning and provided lots of very helpful local information to help us navigate on the day. Special shout out to the Manager of the hotel for the breakfast (I don’t have her name) and Kayleigh. Kayleigh epitomises excellent customer service, friendly professional efficient and so joyful to be around - I wanted to bring her home with me . Kayleigh, You are a credit to travel lodge and a wonderful example of the kind people of the north east, Thank you for everything.

The location of the hotel is quite convenient for self-driving tours, but it may not be convenient for non-self-driving people. In addition, the car needs to be parked at the stadium opposite, and there are many cars parked there during the day. The room is overall tidy, but the bathroom walls are a bit worse, but since there is basically no contact, it feels okay.
