Top hotels in Sunderland City Centre
Holiday Inn Sunderland – City Centre by IHG
No available breakfast facilities. Restaurant was full of lethargic American tourists who were supposed to have cleared so other guests could eat. Room aircon did not have ability to cool room. TV remote and interaction with the TV could be politely described as cumbersome.
