Taking a weekend break from Sydney we wanted a lovely view. We got that from the top level 1 bedroom "apartment". Sadly the building was totally out of date and neglected. We felt let down on arrival & it did not improve checking in or in the room. Non-existent service, shonky & inadequate furnishings made worse by a strange smell.... More

We stayed for a night in Port Stephens & had a room with a garden view. It was spacious, spotlessly clean and had a nice verandah with chairs to sit out in the evening. There was an older gentleman at the reception who was very friendly & helpful. The bay is just a few minutes walk down the road &... More

We were looking for a clean, basic, inexpensive bed/shower etc for a couple of nights whilst golfing locally. We were teeing off too early for the breakfast room and the restaurant was shut on the 2 nights we stayed so no comment possible on the catering. The hotel is tired and in need of renovation but the room was clean... More

From the previous reviews I arrived with low expectations but was pleasantly surprised (maybe helped by a free upgrade to a sea view room). Indeed the hotel is rather dated - stuck in the 1980's - but the room was fine and the view over Nelson Bay was delightful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. This place has massive... More

Only a one night stop thank goodness. The hotel was very tired and in need of updating. The curtains were ragged in places and the bedding had obviously been in use for many years. The air conditioning unit was one of those old in the window sort and very noisy making keeping it on overnight impossible. However it was in... More

I went with the expectation that this cost me $100 a night, it was a case of how bad could it be... However I was pleasantly surprised! The lady on reception was great, I was staying there with my 2 young children, and they accommodated me by having 2 single beds as well as a double so no one had... More

Generally good for a night's stay, but nothing more perhaps. The place was clean no doubt. However, we did find the facilities to be old. In particular, the aircon was noisy all night long. It's way too old and cranky. The TV too was small and really old (I wouldn't be surprised if it's 20 years old at least).

My husband and I stayed at this "resort" to celebrate the 60th anniversary of my husbands original course mates. The resort was badly in need of refurbishing.The curtains were worn and the air conditioner was hidden behind a curtain and so unless you placed the curtain over a chair the air conditioner was useless. The pool area was in need... More

Very dated. Needs a revamp. Is in a good location. Stayed in 'spa' room, large room, good view. The place was clean that's about it. Everything seems old and rundown. Curtains etc... Need a good wash. 'Aircon' fell apart when tried to turn it on.
