Pleasantly surprised.

Great option for Newcastle. Really impressive hotel. Easy to check-in, rooms are nice and clean and in very good condition. The inclusive breakfast is also great - although would be excellent if they had a barista-cart for a couple of hours each AM. Currently just a machine (but a pretty good one with real beans vs pods etc). Didn't know about the $20 parking on level 2 - but will definitely use that next time. Very close to the waterfront precinct. Pleasantly surprised really, and will have me looking into Holiday Inn Express options in my future travels.

We love staying at the Newcastle Holiday Inn Express IHG. Every thing is clean, comfortable, convenient for our purposes. The staff are always very lovely, friendly and helpful at all times. We often stay due to medical appointments in Newcastle area. We love the location as we are close to medical, and clise enough to the harbour to be able to get out and excerise and enoy the beautiful harbour foreshore walk ways. Its our place of choice when travelling to Newcastle. Highly recommend to sray here
