It's the Pits. There's NO BREAKFAST served here. They advertise they have a restaurant but the don't. You have to walk down to a Take-Away Shop to get breakfast. The nearest restaurants are almost 6 kilometres away. The reviews about the receptionist being abrupt and grumpy are true. Do yourself a favour and book somewhere else. Trust me. more

We wanted a cheap place to stay near Newcastle that was close to the airport. I’m not too fussed that the Newcastle Links Motel is located in the middle of nowhere or off lonely Nelson Bay rd, I got what I paid for & at $60 a night, I was laughing, it beats sleeping in a bus shelter or under... more

I think we had the same room as milescheifetz and would make the same remarks but plus some! In our case we paid $80 for night 1 and $90 for night 2. We were greeted at the office with little more than a grunt - outstandingly poor guest relations. To top it off, after we departed we were hit with... more

The first thing that struck us was its isolation, and stuck in horrible shipyards, despite motel site saying it was 10 mins from CBD. Room was at least thirty-five years old with cracked bathroom vanity, old-fashioned (and smelly) bedspread, fridge had only small milk 'poppers' in it and nothing else. Views were of a bank of dirt and carpark- motel... more
