We booked this hotel last minute as a place close to the location we required. We had a standard room on the ground floor. There was no actual information about the hotel and the serrvices that it provided in the rooms. The hotel served its purpose, the room was outdated and the carpet was very stained, however the bathroom was... More

Room is comfortable but the wifi is not strong enough unless you take your laptop close to the terminal in the reception area to get a useable signal.

We stayed in two separate rooms as they didn't have a family room available. That was fine but the rooms weren't. Mould in bathroom on ceiling and in shower. None of the dispensers had anything in them. A/C noisy but worked. The place was built in 1981 and its still trapped there. Cigarette butts outside each room door in McDonalds... More

Our one night stay was perfectly fine. We had an executive room, while not a large room it was clean and tidy. Could not find any in-room information book for information on the restaurant menu, motel info, etc.The room was nice and cool upon our arrival as the air conditioner had been turned on for us. The bathroom was spotlessly... More

I stayed here for a night and found it very satisfactory. Nice clean rooms, friendly staff and good food in restaurant. Very nice view of Newcastle from the restaurant, especially at night. I don't know how old this place is, but it looks like it's been extensively renovated fairly reacently.

We booked two executive rooms as my son & his girlfriend were with us. The motel couldnt put us next door to each other but they put us... More

I feel compelled to write a review about this hotel, since the reviews on here are pretty polarised, people either seem to love or hate the place. I wasnt sure what to expect when we arrived and have to say I was pleasantly surprised. We stayed one night, and would stay again although not ideally as we would rather have... More
