It was very unpleasant stay. I got woken up with water dripping from the AC unit onto my head. The kitchen was flooded with water dripping from rusted end of fridge. The spa bath (that makes the room more expensive) wasn’t working either.

We are a family of 5, so the bed set up was perfect, kids thought it was quite a novelty having all the beds in one room. Staff were nice. It could have done with a simple wire clothes hanger to hang out bathers/ towels. Bathroom floor could have done with a slightly better clean as hairs were present. Lovely location, about 25mins from Merewether beach and Newcastle 5mins more. We enjoyed dinner at the local RSL. For the one night it ticked most boxes for us

Only half decent

The queen bed moved all the time. Almost fell on my back whilst watching TV. There was rubbish under the bed, so it obviously had not been cleaned. There was no sink in the kitchenette, so had to fill kettle and wash up in bathroom sink.

It’s a very basic Hotel. Yes there are some letdowns and parking is a problem but it’s well priced and midway between Belmont and Swansea and it’s always clean. I’ve been here about half a dozen times on fishing trips and have no problem with it.
