Admiral Nelson Motor Inn
4.3/559 Reviews
Located in a convenient quiet location close to everything Admiral Nelson Motor Inn is a short walk to Little Beach and the end of the road. Our room was large and well located with a good sized bathroom. We booked for four nights and our stay was extremely comfortable - thank you, The staff were very friendly, professional and accommodating. Only negative was a lack of power points for charging phones etc - only one at the kitchen sink and one in the bathroom ! Apart from that we were extremely happy and will definitely be staying here again. Extremely good value for money.
Seabreeze Hotel
4.1/582 Reviews
We were extremely disappointed with the size and cleanliness of our room 208. There were long black hairs on the white tile walls in the bathroom, coffee cups dirty and the television was impossible to watch unless you sat sideways on the end of the bed. Also the television had an old set top box and one of the remotes had flat batteries so took a while to realise it was the batteries not the old unfamiliar system. I did make a complaint and the housekeeping manager was very pleasant and had the room cleaned and rearranged (the robe would then only half open). We did look in other rooms when guests had left and they were open about to be cleaned and they were very nice. We were told rooms 208 and 101 were the smallest - do not book those rooms. The position of the Seabreeze Hotel is wonderful and the decor in the bar and very popular restaurant was really well done.
Nelson Towers Motel & Apartments
4/544 Reviews
Motel is right in the shopping area and there is even a Domino's downstairs. Woolies is a few minutes walk as are the cinema, restaurants etc Checking in was a bit tricky as I don't own a mobile and the reception desk is always unattended. Rang, from a public phone, to get the my unique access code. The security fob was waiting in my room to access the lift after that. Loved the coffee machine in the room ! Could have done with access to a washing machine but there is a laundrette at the Marina across the road. Had the pool to myself a few times. Great views from up there. Only downside was some other guests ignoring the smoke free building rule and puffing on their balconies.
Port Stephens Motel
3.8/577 Reviews
I had booked two nights as the last step in our road trip. I booked based on the photos provided by booking.com and comments made for that motel. We ended up staying the one night and cutting our trip short. Pros: the lady at the reception was friendly, and she rang us to see if there was anything wrong as she had found our key in the key safe. The bed, despite sagging in the middle, was comfortable. Another plus was the location, it was only a short walk to get to the marina, so a big plus for the location. Cons: the room was tiny, someone had obviously smoked on the balcony while the doors were open, which meant the room stank of both smoke and musty. The furniture is dismal, with a garden setting in the room, the rest of the cabinetry is of cheap boards that are screwed into the brick walls, nothing fits, you have to slide your hand behind the cupboard to reach the light switch. The bathroom is so dated I couldn’t bring myself to take a shower (mildew). The carpets throughout the room were filthy I just couldn’t take off my shoes!!! The bedding linen was rough - someone had made the comment that it felt like sand paper ... I concur. I am sorry for the lady that looks after the place, because she was definitely a lovely human being! Pictures are from Room 12 - I can not vouch for the other rooms at this motel.
