Great stay in downtown Newcastle, NSW

From our friendly and efficient check in to our quick checkout our stay at Holiday Inn Express Newcastle was memorable in a positive way. The room was large, clean and comfortable. Breakfast provided a tasty variety with appetising food suitable for a wide range of dietary selections. A standout feature was the efficiency of all staff we encountered.

Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
I was given room 632 . It wasn’t until I came back to this room after I had been to the concert late that night that I realised the door didn’t lock . If you pushed on the door it would open from the hall way. I had been up since 3am to get my flight from Brisbane so the last thing I wanted was to have to pack up and move rooms. I put two chairs and the ironing board across the door to limit the access if someone pushed the door and realised they could get in. I had a restless night because of this. Also i question if the room had been cleared properly as there were cans still in the rubbish bin, which I took photos of. The next morning I spoke to a male at reception regarding the door issue. I went to breakfast After breakfast he came to me and said that they knew about the door of this room not locking and having an issue but unfortunately I was given the key card to this room by mistake- I actually should have been in room 631. He apologised and said that he would get someone to ring me. Well I’m still waiting for the call . Obviously very poor communication between your reception staff. I paid over $300.00 for the night and I feel it’s a disgrace I was booked into a room which was known to have a door that didn’t lock. I feel a refund is warranted. Worse still is that no one from your motel chain has bothered to contact me . Very poor service. Regards Joyann Swann 0439 406 858
