Enjoyed Port Stephens

Great position near a park and a few minutes walk to shops and marina. Each room has a small balcony off a sliding door. All usual motel room features. While were there reception wasn't open. We received an advanced text with room code. Daily room service provided. Just be aware the driveway to the carpark under the rooms is quite steep so take it very slowly if you drive a car. SUV type vehicle would be OK.

Great Location is the only reason you would stay here or if you are passing thru and need to park your car and leave your bags for a day or 2. Rooms are small, bathroom needs work. Facility is tired and requires maintenance.

Basic motel. Good location.

Basic motel room with everything you need for a night or two. Room very small for 3 especially if you have alot of luggage. We were travelling for a month. However beds were comfortable. Shower good. Could do with a bit of a deep clean as there were high cobwebs on the corners and the patio doors and patio was very grubby.
