Nice staff, good location close to shops and bay and comfortable bed. There was a bit of noise both nights from a band and from guests. The bathroom floor made water from the shower go to the wall and rot part the door frame and was a bit smelly. The room was spacious and attractive and so was the dining area.

Pub with decent rooms

The property is a pub with an accommodation wing separate from the bar and apart from the air-conditioning not working during my 3 night stay the room was reasonable. The room I was in looked like it had been recently updated and the bathroom looked brand new. While the hotel provides free parking it is a small parking area and also used by patrons of the bars. The location is good right in the centre of town and opposite the beach.

During my stay at the property, I was pleased to find it clean and well-maintained. However, the absence of a any staff member upon arrival was a significant inconvenience. There was no guidance provided for WiFi access or assistance for any other needs, which left us feeling unsupported and disconnected. While the property's cleanliness is commendable, the lack of initial hospitality and accessible information for guests was a notable drawback that impacted the overall experience.

Overall good hotel in central part of Nelson Bay. Close walk to wharf. Room was clean and a good size.

Couple of minor suggestions. The bathroom has no blind with only bottom half of window frosted with top half clear glass. Would suggest adding a blind so can use the bathroom comfortably. Also hotel has 3pm checkin with 10am checkout. 11am checkout would be better especially on weekend. Still leaves 4 hour window for cleaning (with cleaners still able to start on rooms checking out early)

Great view

We booked the 2 bedroom apartment which had a great view from a private deck towards the marina. The wooden boards of the deck and balistrade needed to be restored, we were concerned about splinters. The kitchen/lounge was updated but the lounge had a tear in the seat, the tv was large but foxtel didn't work. We found the beds comfortable and the rooms clean but the ducted airconditioning was noisy. There was only one bathroom, which was large, it would have been nice to have the toilet separate with 4 people sharing, and we were puzzled by the lack of towel rails or even hooks in the bathroom. Overall we enjoyed our stay, the location so near to the marina was perfect.

Disappointing

Only cleaning was bed making each day. Dirty cup just left in basin with water left in it. Nothing else was cleaned, including carpet.
Very little storage space for hanging clothes as ironing board, iron, kettle, hairdrier and fridge all in the wardrobe.
Reception not manned much. Didn't really see any hotel staff.
Basically hotel is a side line. Bar, restaurant and bottle shop more important.
Asked for coffee at the bar in the restaurant and was told they really didn't serve coffee despite them standing in front of a coffee machine.
This place is good for a 1 nights stay, but not any longer.
The upside was the view from the room which was lovely.

Unfortunately this was a very unpleasant stay due to a run down and dirty room. There was strands of hairs in the sink, on the dusty fake flowers in the vase, on the armchairs… soap scum in the sinks, they had not been properly cleaned or disinfected. Greasy handprints on bathroom walls… shower area is open so it leaks all the way to the middle of the bathroom. No foot towel provided. Greasy tv remote which I had to wipe to be able to use. Coffee cups with tea stains. Only 1 spoon provided, which looked like it had been licked and put back in the cupboard. There was only 1 sachet of raw sugar provided (I.e. it was not topped up). There was no soap bar provided by the sink, just shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. The reception was unattended most of the time we were there. Air con was extremely noisy which made it hard to sleep. Carpets all around were grubby and in need of a good carpet clean. Room was big but dark and dingy, windows were opaque. I booked the king room hoping it would be better than the queen as I was told the queen was smaller. I can’t imagine what that room must be like. All in all, I will never stay here again. There is a nice looking restaurant/cafe as well as a public/sports bar attached to this venue. The restaurant looked nice but the prices were so steep we did not dine there.

Great local Hotel good value in a super location

Our group had 3 rooms for three nights . The hotel is conveniently located opposite the Marina and on the edge of the commercial heart of Nelson Bay.Rooms are larger than usual .Its an easy walk to restaurants and shops . We ate in the modern casual bistro at the hotel and were delighted with the good quality food .We enjoyed the ambience of the alfresco bar area where locals added some colour . The staff were great and we felt welcome .

We had a lovely stay at Seabreeze Hotel in their 2 bedroom apartment. It was very spacious for a family of 4. We stayed during the new year break and was even able to watch the fireworks display on our balcony. It is very close to marina which is great for the kids. There’s an allocated parking for guests which makes it convenient.

The room has a modern hamptons feel to it. No room service available but it didn’t cause any issues at all. Wifi was a bit slow so we couldn’t really check emails as much as we want to but I guess that’s the whole point of a holiday.

We would definitely book the same room again hopefully by this year.

Clean bed and bathroom, however daily clean leaves a lot to be desired.
No need to change towels after 1 day, this is not environmentally friendly.
Cleanliness issues that we raised woth management were not fully addressed.
However the location of the hotel, free parking and close by amenities ensure that visitors will come.
Good restaurant within the hotel.
No lift, so if stairs are an issue or you have heavy baggage then ask for a ground floor room.

Ok 5 minutes later was given the room key and head up 3 flights of stairs to the room that wasn’t made up bed stripped bathroom dirty, back down again to be moved to another room that was ready so we lost our room with ocean view and get a view of the fire escape and bottle shop drive instead with a whatever type apology thrown in last minute. Rooms and beds were nice though just a shame most of the staff didn’t give a rats and the manager I assume had no vested interest in the business made me feel like I was the problem even though I didn’t complain about room downgrade and an outside door banging in the wind all night. Shame really it could be excellent with better management.

We arrived late and were able to pick up the keys from the pub downstairs. The room was clean and fairly quiet. The sleeper couch in the room was OK as a second bed but not what I requested. It was also stained and a bit gross. There were no towels in the room and I had to venture downstairs again where I fortunately found spare towels behind the checkin desk - not the best experience for having arrived late and scrounging around for towels.
