I stayed at the Best Western Blackbutt Inn in June 24. This was a last minute booking for me and I was not disappointed. From the moment I checked with Karen at reception the service was wonderful. Karen walked me around the property showing me meal options, room location and even organised my motorbike to be parked securely under the property. As a single traveller in my 40s this attention to detail from the staff is what sets the property apart. The location of this hotel was easy to get to from the A1 and also to return to the M1. Restaurant located on the property had a great range of meals. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I highly recommended this hotel if you are looking to explore the Newcastle/Hunter Region.

Exceeded expectations

We had a fantastic stay! From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, everything was spot on.
We booked to attend Elton John's concert. Being strangers to Newcastle, we studied the public transport being made available and decided that we'd have to book an Uber or equivalent. To our surprise and delight, the hotel made their courtesy bus available to all guests for a drop and return.
The hotel restaurant opened early for the convenience of guests too.
A huge well done and thank you from us, we will be back when we are next required to stay in Newy.

Not value for money

Access to the hotel is a disaster. Check in is in the corner of a shop. Rooma are on second floor. Some of them just above a bar. Windows does not open at all which made us unsafe in case of fire. Parking was away from the property and acess either around the building og through a basement, shared with a bar. Room was nice and clean. Small though. Way too overpriced according to value. Wont come back.

Stayed in room 3 which was a quieter area around the back. I was greeted professionally and given my room keys which also activate the lift so security seems good. The fact that the front desk is in a shop was a bit weird, seemed a bit \"country western\" more than \"Best Western\" but wasn't a terrible set up.

When I arrived in my room I didn't see why this was the 'deluxe' Queen room I booked until I saw some of the other rooms I had walked past while housekeeping were tending to them, they looked a little dated. I think my room was deluxe only because of the furniture trims, so I'm glad I paid the same rate as the standard room cost.

From my room there was an exit to the car park situated across the hall. I'm not sure I was allowed to exit this way to be honest but as there were no signs, I didn't think it would be an issue. However at the bottom of the stairs there was discarded furniture, blocking the way. This is a fire exit so this really needs to be looked at, it's a hazard.

The room itself was very clean and comfortable, with nice bedding and clean sheets. Mine had some marks which looked like stubborn ink but were otherwise pristine. They were clearly cleaned.

The TV has Netflix built in but didn't work which was actually really frustrating. The wifi was particularly bad, only sometimes working but often in and out. This was THE most disappointing thing about the stay to be honest. It's the year 2022 now, people should be able to enjoy the services advertised.

This place was selected purely because it was close to John Hunter Hospital. It was fine for a short stay but the bed was horrid. The bangers and mash (my favourite pub food) was good enough and there is a bakery and coffee shop just up the road.

The air conditioning was broken and the windows are locked shut in the rooms.. Attempted to call reception multiple times including on my own mobile and hotel phone with it ringing out every time. No one was down at reception either. Made for a hot and uncomfortable stay.
Vending machine in the hallway is broken so couldnt even get water which would have helped with staying in a room that hot all night. Someone elses clothing was also left in the cupboards from a previous guest.
