Booked into this hotel tonight and after lugging all my tools up the stairs into the room I wished I'd have kept them in the van and just slept in there. Unclean is an understatement. The bathroom is minging. My other half squealed in horror when I facetimed her it was that bad which was funny, but not funny 😂🤦♂️. Work will be getting a phonecall tomorrow letting them know they need to tell me where they want to book in future because this place is a dive 🏊♂️

Was a lovely hotel and sports complex before they moved the illegal immigrants in. Such a shame, we certainly won't be returning.

My daughter wanted a night away just the 2 of us with spa facilities and google led us here! The hotel itself is very dated however the beds were the comfiest i have ever slept in! We went to use the 'spa facilities' pool was nice, only half was available due to swimming lessons. The hottub, sauna and steam room were too busy to use-but that cant be helped as its a large hotel. I was really disappointed at the state of the changing rooms as they were dirty-hair all over and a really awful smell. The staff were fabulous! The receptionist was welcoming and helpful, the receptionist for the fitness centre was really nice too. But the hospitality staff were really good! We went and had cocktails and a meal in the adjoining bar and restaurant and each member of staff couldn't do enough for us! Breakfast was nice, with huge variety and again the staff were exeptional...really warm, welcoming and funny! The housekeeping team all said hi too! So, overall the staff alone would be 5* but the tired/worn facilities were a bit naff!

I stayed in ‘The Slaven’ at the Sporting Lodge. Staff upon arrival and throughout the stay were very kind, helpful and well mannered. Room was absolutely spotless. Shower was amazing, both the bed itself and the view outside was remarkable. Was recommended to try the food in the bar. I got the Chicken Parmsesan, both the bar staff and the food itself I can’t speak highly enough of. Very fresh. All in all this was a 10/10 experience and can’t speak highly enough of the staff and the hotel itself as a whole. Given previous stays in other hotels in Middlesbrough, I can safely safe these were the best by a distance.

The hotel is adequate for a stopover. The bed was comfy with good quality bedding. The decor was dated and tired. Only shower gel in bathroom. The reception staff were welcoming and friendly. The pool was cool and refreshing on a warm day but small and crowded with people standing around. The spa pool was deliciously warm but over chlorinated. Steam room and sauna were great. Changing rooms were definitely below par and not very clean in areas. No spinners for swimming costumes or bags for costumes as other hotels provide. Towels provided for swimming were clean but thin. The breakfast was of good quality and there was plenty of choice 10/10. Breakfast staff were very friendly and welcoming. Biggest let down was the thumping music that stopped us sleeping as it went on until 1am and we did request a quiet room. Our bed was also pushed up against the wall which made access difficult.

When I arrived, the car park is bashed up and rough, and the building looked like it hasn't had a makeover since the 1970s. Still, I wasn't expecting the absolute failure that was realising on the morning I left that the door of my room didn't lock. So it was a key card door, there is no way to manually lock it from the outside - so it needs to lock when closed. But it didn't. So when I went out for dinner, anyone could have just opened the door and stolen my stuff. When I was sleeping, anyone could have just come in. The taps in the bathroom didn't really work, the shower is decades old.

This hotel is excellent value for money. They’ve got all the basics covered here, comfortable bed, good quality linen and pillows and spotlessly clean. Yes the furniture is a bit tired and a small fridge would have definitely upped it a star, but other than that you can’t really fault what they do here. All the staff were very nice and friendly too. The pub on site only serves food after 4pm so there’s no option for lunch or a drink in the daytime, and there’s not much choice for a healthy option at dinner either, but the breakfast was very good, lots of choice. I found the hotel to be very quiet even though it was full to capacity, didn’t use the pool or gym so can’t comment on that but I’d definitely stay again.
