10/10 Excellent
"We had a lovely stay! The place was clean, quiet, and comfortable, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. They were even kind enough to help us change rooms when the one we initially received was a little far away and the view wasn’t quite what we expected. We really appreciated their understanding and assistance. Overall, a great experience and we would happily stay here again!"

"I stay at this hotel every month when I head up to Newcastle for work. I've stayed at many of the local hotels but settled on this one for the modern amenities, the gym and library section (LOVE working in the library, it has everything a business person could need). The rooms are small but have everything required for a comfortable stay. Also the value for money is excellent, especially when parking and breakfast is included."

8/10 Good
"Disappointed with our 2 bedroom Deluxe Waterview to find that one bedroom is great with balcony and views, whilst the second smaller bedroom is windowless, with an opaque-type sliding door (not legally a 2nd bedroom). But at least it had an ensuite (their marketing does not specify 2 bathrooms - that would help). Also not mentioned is the permanent resident/owners, who are permitted to smoke 24/7, so our apartment had smoke drift the entire time from below (also in neighbouring unit where other members of our group were). By comparision, end of floor unit is also a 2br Deluxe Waterview and both bedrooms have great views - and windows/doors, so if you're claustrophobic, or want a fair deal, book an end unit to get the best (and bigger floor plan). The main bathroom is in need of a deep clean - perpetual stale smell of the urine - not pleasant and apparently a big problem to install brighter bulbs too. Views are great (higher floors) but take your eye masks as not block out curtains if you’re in east facing room."
