It was clean and presentable but over priced for what I paid

Needs a bit of overall TLC. Initial reception welcome was a bit poor.

The room was spacious and quite clean (but dated). TV was large and new, but Netflix didn't work properly (many pauses for buffering due to slow internet). Fridge was good size and cooling well (but very loud adding to the distractions at night). AC was efficient, but not super quiet either. Location is OK, close to Fly Point and Little Beach, but around 30 minute walk to the main part of town.

Don't book if you value your sleep. The bed feels smaller than queen size (I didn't measure though) and the mattress is soft and completely worn off. So you get no support and feel each spring as a 'bonus'. The beds walls are paper thin, so if you are staying with inconsiderate brats as neighbors you won't get a wink of sleep. The Wi-Fi is so slow that it's non-functional, so if you're travelling from overseas, better get a local SIM card (we are locals). All of Nelson Bay is overpriced, so I actually regret not staying in Newcastle. I always use motels for short stays and have stayed in amazing places costing half the price of Lord Nelson.
