The hotel is a distance from the train station. It is very noisy outside at night. There are many birds chirping all night. Not recommended

1. The location is very good, in the heart of Darlington, one side of the building is the old King Hotel, and the other side is the new building. The rooms are small and the setup maintenance is very average. The breakfast is over there in the old building, and it feels pretty good. As a resting place on the way to Scotland by car, I feel that the location is still very suitable.
2. There are several problems with this hotel: first, the parking lot is very limited. If you arrive late, you may not be able to park in the hotel parking lot, and you need to drive to the public parking lot nearby. In fact, the hotel didn't tell me where it was, and it took a long time to find it. Therefore, comrades with luggage should be careful. The second is that the local bar area is downstairs, which is very noisy on weekend nights and stops around 12 o'clock. The third is that many of the guests come to clubbing? Stayed for one night and watched several vomit at the door and on the stairs, which was very uncomfortable.
3. If you are driving to Edinburgh on the eastern route, it is recommended to live in Newcastle; if you are traveling to Glasgow on the western route, it is recommended to live in the Lake District.

Good hearted staff are trying their best with completely inadequate facilities/staffing. The biggest problem is that a major lift to the majority of rooms is out and apparently has been for months. That has one toting bags up three flights of stairs AFTER the first lift and long hallway. Then another long hallway, and then down another flight of stairs to the notorious room 338, which is a full block away from the entrance on Priestgate, and whose window rattles all night with any wind.
My shower head rail was hanging off the wall, but was repaired the very next morning when I reported it.
The night manager was briskly setting and clearing tables the next morning, as apparently only the cook arrived. There was very little food available at 8:30, so I didn’t bother the next day even eating. None of the staff complained about what are clearly difficult circumstances, with housekeepers toting linens and cleaning supplies up and down all those stairs.
Not at all up to Mercure standards. Come on, Mercure, support this hotel which bears your brand.

The plastic shower curtain is too small to prevent the water from spreading outside the booth.
Only very small amount and lukewarm water was provided from the shower head. The soap bottle was empty.
