Sporting Lodge Inn Middlesbrough

I stayed here for work over a few days each week for three months. The rooms varied from an OK room to a truly nice suite. The OK rooms were quiet, had accessible plugs for laptops and chargers, even if you did have to juggle a bit. Beds were comfortable and morning coffee all fine. Water temperature in all rooms, shower or bath, was spot on. Some days a deep soak in a bath was needed. A quick walk to the bar for food, except closed on a Monday night. The quality of food was good and never went hungry. As a non-drinker there were enough choices to make a difference. Car park can get full at times, but the overspill is not a hike by any means. On my last, longest week, I decided to go for a suite. This certainly exceeded my expectations. The desk area was more than plenty, sofas and coffee table and really pleasant bathroom.

The second time we have stayed at Sporting Lodge. Good service, food excellent.,swimming pool great. Good stopping off point on our tour around England Scotland and back to Spain. Fully recommended.

Gym, sauna, and steam

Cleaning

Gym and pool facilities

The hot breakfast was not great. Their was only one sausage when I came down fro breakfast, the beans looked liked they were re-heated from last night. I ended up having a yoghurt pot instead and left.

It was all basic maybe could do with a refurbishment

The toilets where out of use in the restaurant and bar area

Room was spacious and comfortable with 2 double beds, basic but cheap so I was happy enough for the price

Staff were polite but unhelpful, we were given the keys and when I asked for directions to the room was simply told round the corner, no indication on breakfast times or that is was cheaper to book in advance. Bed was too soft for me and the curtains had holes and let in a lot of light. Toilet didn’t flush properly. The pool etc are basic and not overly clean
