Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The aircon in the room did not get cold, we rang reception and were told she wasn’t even sure how the aircon worked so could not help us. The fridge in the room did not work at all. The wifi was not strong enough to stream a movie. Housekeeping opened the door without knocking whilst there was a do not disturb sign on the door and then put a note under the door saying they noticed the do not disturb sign.

I was on the lookout for a locally convenient place to stay while working in Newcastle for an event over the weekend. I liked the 24-hour ability to check-in since my events wrapped up after 10:00 PM, and I was worried about missing the check-in. Booking was a simple, and the staff at the reception were super friendly. I had everything I needed to enjoy my stay. I wish I could’ve grabbed breakfast or hit the gym, but the timing just didn’t work out this time. It’s definitely something I’ll think about for next time if I end up in a similar situation again. Thanks for the great room and for the warm hospitality!
