Staying in Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough sits in north-east England, and this site lists 207 places to stay in the town, with 77 of them rated 3-star and an average guest score of 4.1 out of 5.

Distances from the centre range from 9.2 km to 31.6 km, so a car is useful for most of them.
The mix suits different trips. Couples and small groups get self-contained cottages with kitchens and gardens, such as Elmwood Cottage and the Chop Gate cottages, which are also good for pets. Families are served by family rooms at The Buck Hotel and the 3-bed cottages, while business travellers and anyone breaking a journey have the free parking, wifi and easy road access at Royal Oak Hotel and Travelodge Scotch Corner A1 Southbound.
