No other positive opinion has been expressed by the guests about these accommodations.
Rooms are not very spacious, with layouts that feel cramped, and little possibilities for hanging clothes and laying out your belongings. The bathrooms are also uncomfortable, with no space to set out toiletries and thus difficult to use when getting ready to go out.
Expectations are greatly lowered, when checking in to the rooms at Roker Lodge. The furnishings and fixtures are worn out, the décor is tiring, and the whole ambience is far from great because of the old and uncared for set-ups.
Cleanliness and upkeep are common complaints here. The rooms have such clear signs of not being cleaned properly that guests are reluctant to set out luggage and settle in. Stains, dust, grime, debris, odours, peeling paint, broken fixtures, and assorted instances of inconsistent or absent housekeeping ruin plans and excitement to stay here.
