Sandman Signature Newcastle Hotel
Great breakfast selection , staff friendly and attentive . Only 1 lift ( out of 2) was working but didn’t have too long to wait . Ideal location for St James’s Park. Car park was busy but you expect that , waiting for someone to come out before barrier was lifted . Would book here again .
