We had a really pleasant stay. The room was absolutely spotless, honestly one of the cleanest we've seen at this price point.

Even though the motel's older and clearly well used, it's very well looked after. We had both a kettle and a microwave which was handy, though just a heads up, there's no toaster if you're planning on making toast for brekkie.

The beds were comfortable, the air con worked great, and the little touches like tea, coffee, biscuits, and bathroom toiletries were a lovely bonus. Being right across from a 7-Eleven and close to the Entertainment Centre made things easy too.

It felt popular and well run. If you're coming for an event at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre, it's a really convenient base, close by, great for the money. Overall, simple, clean, great value. We'd consider it again.

This place is good for an overnight stay. The AC, linen and bathroom were clean. Parking is quite tight and not many available. If you're sensitive to noise it's not ideal as it's not very soundproof and you can hear people walking along the corridors or opening and closing room doors etc.

The room was clean and matched the description but the parking was appalling and noise from other guests meant we got very little sleep. Plus the person in the next room chain smoked while sitting right outside the room (right next to a no smoking sign) and all the smoke came straight through the gaps in our door.

stayed overnight en route to Queensland. stayed in unit 3 on ground floor. A few units shares a common enclosed under cover pathway accessed by a glass panelled door. Despite the motel sign to close that door gently, during the night, can hear that door slamming. Thankfully, it did not happen past midnight. Apart from that it was a pleasant night.
