This hotel is well appointed and within walking distance of the CBD and also close to the waterfront. The rooms are spacious and very clean. Cutlery is only minimal - mugs and teaspoons, so not convenient to have meals delivered. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel is good fr one night or several.

A one night stay for catching up with family. Short walk from Newcastle Interchange. Very friendly and helpful staff at Reception. Breakfast buffet was not extensive but there were enough options of fruit and yoghurt, cereals, hot food, pastries and gluten free bread and corn flakes on request. Walking distance to many restaurants for dinner options. 24 hour reception is great as is the bar for a drink at any time. Would stay there again.
