- albert (7/5): -
- Nemesio (7/5): Not an overly pleasant experience - Close to highway and convenient for our trip north Noisy neighbours drinking and smoking late in the night
- Shawna (9/5): Good for overnight on the way somewhere. - Good location, good beds, great size for family. Ample space to relax in the evening. Weird plastic table cloth cheapens the place a lot. The TV is ridiculously small. The parking was tight and not well lit.
- Fay (10/5): We’re considering a return visit on our trip home. - I loved how clean and fresh and convenient it was.
- Diana (8/5): -
- Deborah (9/5): Being near all facilities outside the unit and near to the freeway we were extremely happy with our stay. - Spacious, two large double beds which accommodated 4 adults rather than using singles in the second bedroom Nothing to be fair. We were only an overnight stay but I am sure I’d be happy for multiple nights.

- Tina (9/5): -
- Carla (2/5): The damage on the car is higher than what we paid for the whole stay - The location was ok. The room looked fine for that price range and it was clean. Some occupant from another unit (we believe unit 3) damaged our car during parking. The premise got cameras but the owner is well aware that they do not record (probably they're dummy cameras). The owner, once informed of what happened, said that he "would have investigated". We have no idea what and where he would have investigated...

- Rona (10/5): - Clean quiet
- Brigitte (9/5): -

- GREG FIELD (9/5): We enjoyed the experience. - Great location proximity. Well presented and maintained budget property. The bed was a bit too firm for me.
- Laurrence (8/5): OK for short stay. - Average overnight stay. There is no sink for washing up breakfast dishes. We won't wash cups and plates in the hand basin where you clean your teeth. Five of the six motels we stayed at had no such sink. Most provided tea towels and dishwashing liquid.
- Peter (10/5): A pleasant experience - Clean and colorful facilities, great location with dining options close by. Convenient location for day visit to and from Newcastle and Nelson Bay. Newcastle Airport is nearby.

- Heather (9/5): Probably stay again as room had 2 chairs and was able to walk to RSL - Closeness to RSL where the meal was good value for money and well presented. We felt that the bed was too hard.

- Martin (8/5): -
- Barry (9/5): Great place to stay on our return journey to Sydney - Wonderful clean comfortable spacious room. The RSL Club (only two doors down) has a fantastic restaurant. The outstanding quality of the room belies the unimpressive outside appearance. Would prefer a separate shampoo and shower soap dispenser.
- Leslie (10/5): Just what we needed for an overnight stay during our trip. - It was very clean. It was quite spacious. There was no outside noise.
