Great hotel but NO parking which has to be said is a big minus point. I parked at Riverside Parking on recommendation of hotel but you have to pay using Ringo App but as far as I could see you cannot pay for 24 hours as your parking slot ends at 23.59 on the day. How you pay for more ‘god only knows?’ Not user friendly.
Staff were very helpful and breakfast was excellent.
Rooms were good although aircon seemed to go off around 10pm? Definitely got warmer then.

At £16, the breakfast was very disappointing. The 'fresh orange juice' was a machine mixed concoction that didn't taste like orange juice. There was no hot chocolate and the pastries were frequently empty. They only jam offered was strawberry. The rooms were modern and clean but unfortunately, the holder for the shower head was broken. The staff were friendly and helpful and manned to move our room away from opposite the lifts (which would have been noisy)

Stayed for one night while visiting the theatre staff were very helpful to keep our bags until after our afternoon theatre show. Check in was easy and staff very friendly. Room was a good size loved the air con in the heatwave it was clean and tidy bed were comfy. Breakfast the next morning was lovely good range and all clean. Checked out staff kept our bags again while we went and did abit of shopping before our train home. Also liked the fact you needed your hotel room key to get back into the property at night which stops people just walking in during the middle of the night.

First time staying in a Holiday Inn and we loved it. The only moan we have is we had to listen to the humming from the air conditioning units(?) Which seemed louder in the quiet of the night, that were outside our window. I'd think it could annoy light sleepers. Other than that, the hotel was lovely and clean, very comfy bed and the staff were so friendly and helpful.

Nice location, friendly staff, very clean facilities.

Woke up to lots of doors closing in the corridors (i assume a staff door) I stayed at the bottom end of the corridor, and the breakfast I thought was very average.

Besides from that it’s a nice hotel.

No available breakfast facilities. Restaurant was full of lethargic American tourists who were supposed to have cleared so other guests could eat.

Stay in hotels all over the UK amd this stay at the Holiday inn express was faultless.
Spent two nights there amd ticked all the boxes needed for our time there, including helo with parking which was a short walk from hotel and very cheap (think was £12 for two nights).
Parking or nearby, decent bar, food nice, and spotless rooms that's all I ask for lol

Everything fine about this hotel. Only complaint is the £23.40 it cost us to park in St Mary’s Car Park opposite the hotel. It’s the closest car park. And that was from 3pm through to 10.30am the following morning. So not even 24 hrs. Surely the hotel could offer a preferential rate or some discount ? Sunderland City Council should be ashamed of themselves charging such ridiculous amounts.

Room and location great, wouldn't eat there again though. We were the only people in the 'restaurant' and still had to wait 25 minutes for two sandwiches and triple cooked chips (they weren't triple cooked, my guess would be McCains). Apparently because they make the egg mayo from scratch. Queried the time it was taking, no apology, just a defensive attitude.

Staff are very busy and friendly. Problem for us! They seem to have long stay residents in this hotel, who are very noisy. We had someone repeatedly waking us up at 05:50 with dance music, on a Saturday and Sunday morning. The staff helped to notify the resident, however having spoke to several staff, they were aware of the resident. With one member stating \"we've had multiple complaints!!!! Well, hearing this, they knowingly placed me and my wife next to this noisy resident without any care for us. Not impressed.

The information says “sound proof rooms” however there is music from the nearby bars until around 11pm, unless there is an event on and it can be 1.30am… which it was while we were there.

No drinking water!
We arrived on Christmas Day… all shops closed
No water provided in room! And when I asked for water staff refused… only on purchase! Charged us 6 quid for 660ml water! That’s a joke! Extremely inconvenient and inefficient
