I am a big fan of Premier Inns and would rather book one of these than even a 5* hotel I have not…read morestayed before, for the simple reason is you always know things are always right and to a good standard in a Premier. The only thing with Premiers is that they seem to be in two standards thou they are all 4*. Thou both of the standards are good and like I said I am always happy staying here, the difference is that the better standard is a more recently modernised room than the slightly lower standard. The Hartlepool Marina Premier is the slightly lower standard. The views from this hotel are spectacular as it is based right on the marina with the boats sat on both sides to the hotel. Location is only 5minutes walk from Church Street what is the start of town where you can find restaurants, pubs and clubs. I would stay here again.

I decided to try a bit of each meat they had available, which was beef, chicken and pork. I also had the yorkshire pudding, stuffing balls, baked potatoes and gravy. This was washed down with a pint of John Smith's. Everything was very delicious, and for once in my life, I got stuffed on the first plate. A great deal considering the low price you pay. While you are here, be sure to walk along the beach and check out the shoppes nearby. Seaton Carew is a beautiful town, and the Marine Hotel is the quintessential, English Sea-town experience.

The room thou are probably what I would describe as ideal for contractors but not ideal to take the Mrs to but this was only my experience as I was located in the newer modern wing and not in the main hotel. The hotel gets many guests visiting to the restaurant and not booking into the hotel. The restaurant is extremely popular to locals and thou the menu is quit small, all of the food was cooked from fresh by chefs rather than from the freezer by cooks. The food here is absolutely spot-on and better than most restaurants. The staff are efficient, polite and friendly. In general it was quit cheap for the room, clean and food is 100% The hotel owners also own and run the local fishmongers what is the best I have ever come across. - See my reviews for Hodgson fishmonger in Hartlepool. The hotel therefore offers some really good, top quality, fresh fish in their restaurant.
