Got there early for check in and was able to access my room. Fantastic breakfast , very friendly and attentative staff. The hotel may be slightly dated but its clean and offers good value for money. Also, is there a better location right next to funfair and the great beaches.

Happy
Stayed in the Annex as disabled family room was required and could not have asked for more. Spacious comfortable and had all the requirements that were needed for our wheelchair user.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
Room was warm and clean with comfortable beds.
Breakfast was lovely too.

The area around the hotel was great, everything was super close and the beach being outside was amazing but the condition of our room was so so poor. The wallpaper was hanging off the wall, the dressing table was barely standing up, the floors were super dirty so it overall felt super run down and unclean

Lovely central hotel
The Sea Hotel was lovely, very central in South Shields and the staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was ideal offering a good choice.
I was unlucky in that the room next door had a guy with an annoying voice who talked loudly and kept me awake until 1.30am, showing no consideration for fellow hotel guests. Nothing to do with the hotel of course, just bad luck being next door to an idiot!
