  As some mention, there are some maintenance issues, but are minor and fairly irrelevant...cosmetic more than anything.

  Stayed for my father's wedding. He was told guests of the wedding would get a discount since the wedding and reception were to be held there. Checked the price online before booking and it was $135. Called to book and said we were staying for the wedding and the lady quoted $135. So no discount at all. Also, for the type of place the price is too high. The decor is very outdated, our duvet was stained, the button on the toilet was broken. The whole place felt like it was in desperate need of a refresh. Have stayed in quite nice hotels for the same price.

  Very comfortable room. Restaurant food wonderful but the service left a little to be desired, we weren't asked if we needed another drink from the bar or if we'd like dessert. Table cleared very quickly and we were made to feel like we were holding them up. Not what we expect from a restaurant in a motel.

  We come here every year for Christmas. Always decent, always bloody hot. Guess that's not their fault though.

  Great place. Had a family room Room with a Brady Bunch feel to it and updated showers and kitchenette. Comes with an incrediblely large shower, lotion and after shave pumps. I would stay at this place many more times if I could.

  Nice place, great price thru booking on inside an hour of reception closing.

  And not having to drive all the way into Newcastle makes for an easy exit.
