Sporting Lodge Inn Middlesbrough

Pub on site, small park for kids, lots of parking (not free), swimming pool you can use in your stay. Fair price.

Our room was by reception and kids running up and down constantly and into very late night. Rowdy adults talking at top of their voices late at night and early in the morning. Doors seem to be really thin and dont block the noise at all. People also walk past the window in the room constantly so we felt we had to keep the curtains shut just for privacy or they can see you clearly in your room. Paying for parking when it's the hotels own carpark is mad, they should include this in the room rate even if it raises the price slightly. Very basic and bathroom was in a bad state, needs a refurb. There's basic and theres unloved, this hotel was poorly cared for. Pool size great but the room is hot with no ventilation, and the steam room smelt like mold. Could be a great hotel but some major points spoil it.

Good location

Room cleaned and towels changed once on the 3rd day of the stay, bed very uncomfortable

Staff

Room

Not a lot

I have to say that the staff were the best part about the Sporting Lodge. The older receptionist with short her and glasses was very nice. I particularly want to mention Lisa in the restaurant. If it wasn't for her attention and customer services with our group, my review would have been much worse. She is a credit to Sporting Lodge and a credit to the restaurant. Thank you for everything Lisa. The children loved having access to the pool.

The hotel is a bit tired and needs a bit of an update. It has a lot of potential.

Location is ok

This place could be a lovely hotel. Very run down. Along with staff interest. Key cards don't always work. And given a room a long way from reception. Have to walk all the way back with cases. No towels in room. So another long walk back. No apologies just a tut. Not so cheap definitely not cheerful. Poor.

It was very easy to find, clean and plenty of space in the room. We were able to check in late at night too which was nice after a very long drive.

It was extremely hot. The windows didnt open very easily.

I thought the bedrooms looked tired and need an upgrade.

Sport Pub next to hotel was brilliant. The ladie Lisa was very welcoming and make my stay really nice 👍
