This hotel HAS NO ON SITE PARKING despite what is stated in the Expedia listing!! Your only option is to park off site and pay £17/day. This is a discount from the £22/day that the garage charges, if you get your parking ticket validated at the hotel prior to leaving, and is a 4 minute walk to the hotel.
Other than that, the hotel is nice within a short walking distance to many shops, restaurants/pubs and of course, St. James Park, where Newcastle UFC play.
