I had a mixed experience at Sandman Signature Newcastle Hotel. On the plus side, the staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel welcome. The location was another highlight as it was close to many attractions, including St James's Park. However, I was disappointed with the cleanliness of my room and the quality of the bathroom facilities.
