"I had a lovely stay. The place was very clean, comfortable, and beautifully presented. Everything felt welcoming and well maintained. The only small issue was that there wasn’t any bottled water provided, and no service was available until 10am, which made things a little difficult in the morning. Aside from that, it was a great experience overall."

"It's very close to the sea and the room is very big. The hotel's own club is also very lively at night, but there are a lot of mosquitoes outside. Overall recommended."

"Booked for a two day trip of the Central Coast and Newcastle. The location is very reasonable if you want to visit both CC and NC in the same go without change of hotel. The room is spacious enough and comfy enough, yet when leaving he room there is something not very pleasant in the look of the parking. All in all reasonable location, good comfort in room, not very pleasant parking. Staff is friendly and welcoming."

"Wasnt sure what to expect but this place was perfect for what I needed. Very comfortable large room. Had all I needed in a room including toaster and microwave plus more. Location great. Absolutely recommend Lake Macquarie motor inn . Office staff were fabulous ."

"Where do I start? We stayed at this place for a special occasion. When booking I asked for a renovated room, (Treetops Terrace) after reading other reviews that said some rooms were renovated some not. I was assured I would get a renovated room...well if 506 was renovated I'd hate to see an un-renovated one!! The place looked like it hadn't had a proper clean for YEARS. Both showers had USED soap in the soap holders! Proof that no one had cleaned the room before we were given it. Everything from the AC ducts, curtains, carpet and cupboards were gross. We came home and found a cockroach in one of the bedrooms. The clock on the wall is obviously broken or needs new batteries as it never moved from 5pm the whole 3 days we were there. Despite all the threats online about noise levels, we had people next door who partied on well past midnight....of course there's no one to complain to as the reception is closed. We were allocated 2 parking spots, being four of us, but one spot couldn't be used as there were barriers all around it. The only bedding was a thin old blanket topped with a sheet, and it was freezing! With the AC heat on it was like an oven upstairs and an icebox below. Upon checking out on the Monday morning, I took the filthy makeup mirror to reception as evidence of the filth they charged us $400 per night for. You could tell my complaints fell on deaf ears as they'd heard it all before! Others on here have mentioned used soap in the bathrooms so they clearly know cleaners aren't doing a good job, or they're not cleaning AT ALL. I'm giving the place 1 star.....that is purely for the location."
