A lovely clean hotel with just a couple of minus points. The breakfast was very mediocre, hard overcooked eggs, dry overcooked bacon and cheap sausages. No parking, but there is a multi story nearby that cost £18.80 for the night. That to me is expensive.

Great Stay

The Sunderland Holiday Inn staff were wonderful. I had a bad fall at the theatre and when I got back they couldn’t have been more kind and helpful, especially Kieran. He offered to take me to A&E but I did not want to go. He bathed my wound and found a plaster for it. I cannot remember the name of the other receptionist but she was equally as kind and helpful. If there one downside, it was that the bedroom was very cold and had limited refreshments. Apart from that the room was very clean and the bed was comfortable and I enjoyed my stay immensely.
