Room really clean, housekeeping staff do a great job. Pool lovely, well kept. Issue with renovations in room above us that nobody told us about it at check in, d/w reception, apologies made, compensation given, just not what we'd expect, especially given good service on numerous previous visits. Coffee machine desperately needed at breakfast. You can buy barista coffee but most buffets of that price point would at least include a machine to make coffee rather than filter coffee. Emerald Gardens great Chinese restaurant, really enjoyed it.

We enjoyed our stay at The Executive Inn. Lovely breakfast buffet, great outdoor spa and the pool curfew of 9pm was enforced meaning that it was quiet at night time. Rooms are individually air-conditioned and the staff are friendly. We were needing to go to John Hunter Hospital which was a short bus trip away or a 20 minute walk (all downhill on the way back!) There's a small shopping village very close by.

The room hadn't been properly serviced. There was an open carton of milk left in the fridge and the floor was not vacuumed properly and there were no facewashers. We found a lovely staff lady named Liz who supplied a sealed carton of milk and facewasher with a sincere apology.

The reception staff seemed slightly rude when I requested towels for the pool, which I was told should have already been in the room (they weren't). Slightly confused, I asked if I was expected to use the bath towels for the pool as there were no separate pool towels in the room. The staff member then went to retrieve 2 bath towels and after requesting 2 more (there were 4 of us) I thought I received a slightly petulant look.
