Goog Valued Corporate Motel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 5/15/10
Originally I found this motel on wotif.com and that a one bedroom apartment came up at under $110.00 per night but by the time I booked it was up to $135.00 per night. The motel website quoted the same price as wotif.com site so I booked direct, requesting an upstairs, non smoking apartment. I arrived extremely late, 1.30am in the morning.
The receptionist SMS me two methods of obtaining access to my apartment. It work like clock works and was able to enter my room without fuss. It did take me a couple of minutes to locate my apartment, the numbers are illuminated and easy to read, for old people like myself.
Although the motel looks a bit corporate, the staff are really friendly and mostly locals. When I described a pub that I hadn't been to in over 25 years to the receptionist, he was able to give me directions without hesitation. Ideal location for business. I was able to walk to the University where I was attending a conference. After the conference I called the motel and asked for a taxi number, it was raining cats and dogs, the manager answered and so kindly offered to pick me up from the University and bring me back to the Motel. Totally unexpected, great service. I have emailed my experience to all my work colleges who frequent Newcastle regularly. I’ll be back for sure.
