The motel has been renovated with a great bathroom, kitchenette and reverse cycle aircon. Although quite a small space in the queen unit it was quite comfortable and warm and despite being on a, at times, busy road the room was fairly quiet. Staff were great. Reasonable tariff.

newly renovated, very quiet, easy parking, and overall value for money, however couple of items There are no bedside lights or switches. you need to get out of bed and cross the room to switch off the lights There were only 2 pillows AC was quite noisy on high and had to turn it up to 30 degrees 2 shampoos no conditioner Large fridge with a usable freezer section but freezer was iced in Hair fluff under the vanity (was probably missed as everywhere else was clean) Just needs tidying up. Will probably stay here again

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Stayed here for a couple of nights during our stay in Newcastle. Staff were welcoming and a delight to deal with. The room was a modern take on classic motel style accommodation. Recently renovated, amenity provisions were good and it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The motel is also located close to a major shopping centre and there were also various dinning options in close vicinity, which was also convenient. Being motel style accommodation, vehicle parking is located right outside the bedroom area and you can hear cars coming and going, which can be disturbing especially at night. The opening and closing of adjacent room doors can also be loud. However overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend to other travellers.
