Not a clean entry, staff stay behind the door and are never at reception, bathrooms in rooms are the same as a cruise ship plastic shell, rooms are tiny and not clean or up to date at all. Room service didn’t take the rubbish or give extra toilet paper on second day.

The venue was convenient, clean and a great location for accessing the city of Newcastle. I did need to use WIFI and, while it was available, it was a free low speed throttled service. I would like to have known in advance that I had to pay extra to access a usable data rate.

The staff were average. The hotel was like a rundown halfway house. I have stayed in cleaner and better looking backpackers. The hotel smells of cigarettes and stale beer, the lift had a urinal cake quality and the room itself had so many paint chips, warped and cracked furniture and my sheets had holes in them. It feels like a place that you would stay if yiu just wanted a place to pass out after a bucks night.

Service at check-in was slow due to the receptionist being busy serving beers. No room cleaning even though I was there for 3 nights. The manager apologized and assure me it would be done after night 2, but it wasn’t Breakfast on morning 1 was a shambles. Lights weren’t even on and staff still setting up the breakfast after the scheduled open time Breakfast on morning 2 and 3 was great Lift was grotty. 3 nights worth of rubbish in my bin was difficult to deal with Overall a very disappointing experience

Unfortunately this was a bad experience - they don't do housecleaning & when I asked (on day 4) if I could get clean towels and the bathroom cleaned as I was there for 5 days, I was told there was no housestaff available. The place is falling to pieces, the rooms are very old, they stink and they are filthy. The best part of this place, was the driveway out.
