I couldn't have asked for a better location; right by the beach and close to all the great spots in Newcastle. The rooms were clean and had everything I needed, with a tiny view of the ocean. The service was exceptional, especially from James and the receptionist who reminded me of Amy Adams. The dining experience was nice, but there could have been more variety. A fantastic stay!

The hotel is in a great location, close to the beach and city, with easy access to everything without needing to drive. The rooms are nice and clean, ensuring a comfy sleep; however, the view directly into adjacent building rooms is a drawback. The service goes above and beyond, especially in setting up for special events, despite minor issues like a flashing clock. The dining experience, while satisfactory, could be improved with more diverse choices nearby. The facilities are well-equipped for a pleasant stay.
