Little National Hotel Newcastle
It was a shame that they jacked the price up so much for the 2 nights I stayed at. I understand a little bit but not over double the price

NOAH'S On The Beach
Beautiful location with the beach across the street. Staff very friendly and the rooms were serviced nicely each day. The rooms are somewhat older and could use a freshening up but it didn't take away from the experience,
