Good Points: The rooms are nice and well kept. The beddings, bathroom, sink, etc are clean and give you the impression that cleanliness is a top priority. The staff were also very helpful and quite friendly. The place is good value for money.
Bad Points: The wireless broadband connection was terribly poor in the room I was staying in. I could not get connected because the signal was too low. You should place boosters round the hotel to raise signal. This will help to keep people coming back as the internet is essential for many people.
Further Comments: The hotel is nice and neat, quiet and tidy. It is close to all amenities and so is quite handy. I would have a more varied menu e.g. buffet breakfast. I would also take a look at the accessibility to your internet connection as some places in the hotel cannot connect due to weak signal strength. This is the only thing that would make me not come back. The internet is essential in today's world and when I was looking for a place to stay it was the fact that your hotel had broadband that I chose it.

Bad Points: Nothing.
Further Comments: Overall my stay was very enjoyable, it could have been made better by the following: - Map or plan of the immediate area showing restaurants, pubs, cafe ect; Internet connection in the room; Menu at breakfast. I would stay at the Sir William Fox Hotel again in the future, and I would recommend it to friends and family.

Good Points: The hotel was very clean and the staff very friendly.The Family Room was huge and ample space for a family of four. Recently decorated and very clean.
Further Comments: The hotel is family owned and a warm welcome was extended to us. We were very well looked after and the family room was ideal for two teenagers. The bar known as the Honesty Bar due to the fact you write in a book what you had taken was a breath of fresh air. Breakfast was very filling and plenty of choice. Ideal hotel in a very nice area of Westoe in Sunderland. We will book again next year. Highly recommended. Excellent !
