Premier Inn North Shields (Ferry Terminal) ★★★

"I stayed at the hotel in N.Shields for two nights and paid in advance for "Ultimate Wi Fi" for two days. At midnight on the second night, -i.e 28 hours after i'd activated it, it logged me out and asked me to pay again. There was a "helpline" which of course went unanswered so i had no choice to pay again. Worth knowing- if you are staying for two days you'll need to pay for THREE days of WiFi. Annoying and a bit of a rip off. The receptionist as i checked out said "they should have sent you another code"- well they didn't- and while i think of it, the extra fiver was for one device ONLY. Also... When i checked in at 1.30 i was asked if i had paid in advance for an "early check in" (i.e before 3.00 p.m). I hadn't so i said if the room isn't ready can i just leave my bags as I had to go to a function. The receptionist (who was very nice) phonef the cleaner to find out if my room was ready..."yes" they said. "that's good news" i said, "that'll be 15 pounds please" said the receptionist! The room was ready anyway and if i wanted to go up an hour and a half earlier they wanted extra. I wouldn't mind if the hotel was cheap and, like Ryanair, they just try to get you to pay extras to get more out of you, but this was 80 quid a night. The hotel was clean, tidy and quiet but beware of the small print."
