• Joseph (9/5): -
• Carmeng13 (9/5): We enjoyed our stay in Port Stephens. Nelson Bay and Shoal Bay Beach well worth the visit. - Our accommodation was very clean and comfortable. The location of this motel was superb. A couple of minutes walk away from Nelson Bay Marina, shops and restaurants.

We’d happily stay again for a night or two. Location was perfect along with the support from staff when we left something behind. Thank you again
• Marita (7/5): -
• A (7/5): Uitstekend locatie voor onderweg 1 nacht - Dichtbij centrum Niets
• YUMIKO (8/5): -
• ewa (9/5): -
• Marcus (10/5): Einfach, sauber und gute Lage - Das Check-In ist ganz einfach: Die Zimmer -Nr. wurde uns per Mail zugeteilt und das Zimmer war offen. Es war sehr sauber und es fehlte an nichts. Es ist sehr gut gelegen. Für uns war es nur für eine Nacht und wir fuhren am nächsten Tag sehr früh weiter. Der Vorplatz ist aus Kieselsteinen und macht einen Lärm bei ankommenden und abreisenden Gästen. Mich hat dies aber nicht gestört.

• Watling (10/5): Would stay again. Great value for money. - Lovely staff in a small friendly family run motel.
• Rob (9/5): - Great location, easy walk to town. Room was ready when I arrived and was clean, tidy and comfortable. Had some trouble with the TV remote and the rules regarding linen and towels seemed excessive (though I understand why they have put them in place).
• Sharyn (8/5): Great location, clean and comfortable - Good facilities, great location
• Ella (8/5): -
• Swanson (10/5): - Pleasant surroundings
• Vicki (9/5): A great location and a clean well serviced old style motel - Central location and although an old style motel is was spic and span Nothing
• Diana (8/5): -
• Stefan (7/5): -
• Ute (9/5): Gut gelegenes Motel - Gute, zentrale und ruhige Lage. Kommunikation mit der Verwaltung hätte besser sein können.
• Francesca (8/5): Posizione perfetta - La posizione perfetta, camera ok Le lenzuola e coperte avevano qualche macchia
• maria (6/5): - Clean close to town Very hard bed and music going all night
• Anne (9/5): - The location is an easy walk to the main shops and marina area. No need for a car This is a budget hotel which offers simple facilities suitable for a short stay Staff were very accommodating and helpful
• Tracy (8/5): Convenient location in Nelson Bay - Convenient check in and close to everything in Nelson Bay. Rooms are older style but very clean and the comfortable bed and nice towels were appreciated. The temperature adjustment in the shower takes a bit of time.
• Dean (8/5): -
• Samantha (9/5): Overnight stay, great location - Great location, easy booking and check in, clean and tidy Bed was a bit hard
• Wendy (2/5): $194 for the nightHighway robbery - Position Poor quality, run down, room stuffy, a threatening laminated letter about damaging towels and linen. No sign of any staff. No contact at motel. Police and ambulance attended a screaming couple 2 rooms down. Pool closed. Appalling BBQ area on the roadside on car park.
• Dunn (8/5): - I couldn't fault a thing. I will add that the Manager did ensure we had an early check in (earlier than I had requested) even though they were booked out the previous night. I rate that as excellent customer service. 💯👏 No complaints at all.

• Paul (8/5): Very good -
• Kirstie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Pooja (9/5): Good and convenient - Close to the shops and restaurants, spacious for the family. Bed linen can be improved and bathroom taps can be renovated.
• Dwain (7/5): Great location, but over priced for it's age. - It's just a plain and honest old hotel, no frills, but it met my expectation. It seemed that the grumpy checkin dude over the phone didn't appreciate being asked for assistant by pesky guests looking to check in. Other than that it was also over priced for what it was, if it was priced more appropriately for the age and style of hotel that it is, I could have rated it better.

• Vanessa (7/5): Affordable and easy. - Good location. Comfortable enough and did the job for a cheap and easy trip.
• Meg (1/5): Bad - Didn’t feel safe to stay. Door only had push lock. Nil chain on door for extra security. Windows were basic gauze you could just push out. Self checkin so no for help at reception.

• Pamela (7/5): Good - Generous size room. Easy walk to the shops and Marina. Was clean & tidy The designated smoking area bbq area needs to be kept cleaner
• Kathleen (4/5): Impersonal, noisy but clean - Location fine. No breakfast The amount of noise coming from outside, and the room next door. Disturbed sleep.
• V9578MPlisab (2/5): Terrible - avoid - Cons: • Bed was horrible and hard • Air conditioner/heater was broken so the room was freezing • Could hear the neighbours fart ( honestly I did, twice! ) I left a bag of personal belongings upon checkout, called that day, was told I’ll receive a call back that afternoon, nothing. Called next morning was told it had been located. Collected bag that day and personal item ( medication ) had been stolen from the bag. When asked why was told “ not in the office call later “ Police matter now.
• Jose (7/5): It is an OK place to stay for a night or two - It is ok. Does the job
• Danielle (9/5): Great stay, perfect spot, easily accessed. - We had craft retreat but accommodation was not suitable so we booked to stay at the Central motel. It was a great position enough beds to suit us and facilities were great, and the staff were lovely. Will be back to stay again. Only thing is the plug was on the floor behind bed so we had to move it out to plug an adapter in. But the bed was easy to move. Not really a problem.
• Barbora (8/5): Very good -
