    Friendly staff, excellent location, large rooms. They brought us a microwave, and the room was furnished with a small refrigerator, dishes, glasses, and eating utensils. They always had umbrellas at the front door, which was great cause it rained...

    Our room was very quiet. Staff always cheerful & friendly. Valet service very efficient. The pool was most enjoyable. View of Hunter with tugs & ships coming & going was interesting. Boardwalk convenient.

    Location was just what we wanted as neither of us had been there before and my memory of Newcastle was from the period from 1957 to 1962
