Expensive and understaffed

Reviewed By MichaelTravel22

My stay was fine but overall the rate is very high for what you get. The room is quite sparse and simple - no real style, just generic kind of room. The staff tried their best but it was obvious they were really understaffed. Seeing guests pushing their own luggae trolleys is new for me:)

Reviewed By cstamm

I needed somewhere to stay for 10 days while my apartment in Gosford was undergoing water damage repairs and couldn’t bear the thought of staying at any of the places available in Gosford itself! Thankfully I found TPCR which is only 10 minutes away, but could be a world away! Lovely resort atmosphere reminiscent of Tropical Queensland, which is super clean and well maintained. It was good to have small kitchen facilities and a comfy bed as well as undercover parking….a bonus with the heavy rain showers. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others.

Pullman Magenta Shores Resort Hotel

A bit disorganised but worth it

Reviewed By Stephen E

Staff Excellent, Service not bad, still suffering from short staffing re pandemic it seems, Food in the restaurant was limited but excellent. Coffee, Long Black, excellent, Golf excellent, GPS in carts brilliant. Make sure to book ahead for your round of golf. Online bookings are hopeless, ring pro shop direct and make sure of the price when you book. Wifi was rubbish as was the TV and entertainment system if you need it. 25 metre pool a blessing, go early to avoid kids. Gymnasium excellent. Apartments need painting and general work but this seems common since the pandemic. Bed in master bedroom 605 super comfortable. Did see a small apartment (Studio), Don’t bother they are small and smelly, and if it’s a price point issue, you will struggle with the prices at the restaurant and bar so bring your own food and wine and get a self contained unit. The Vie Spa good for general massage and average facial. Otherwise not worth it. Big menus but no ability to deliver. Still great location and excellent facility just suffering a bit from the pandemic.

Sunny aspect of our apartment kept our room naturally warm. Spent several afternoons sitting on the balcony planning outings in the local area. Just lovely. Light breakfast included in room price was nice. Family size fridge useful for longer stays. Would like to mention the BBQ area on level 2 was undercover and protected from the weather. Thank you to Elizabeth and her team for checking in with us to see if we needed anything.

Very dirty rooms.

Reviewed By maddisonr101

The room I stayed in was filthy, and littered with dead bugs all over the bathroom floor and bench space in the living area. It was evident that the room had not been cleaned in quite a while judging from the build up of bugs, the bed had only been made and new towels were placed in the room, that is all. The receptionist also asked to see my medical exemption (mask) from my doctor, which is completely unacceptable and unlawful as it contains medical in-confidence information about my health. I suggest that staff are informed on these requirements.

We recently stayed at the Galaxy Motel and found the staff were pleasant and helpful. The room was on the ground floor as requested and was clean and tidy. The Galaxy Motel is in a convenient location close to local shops, clubs and restaurants. I would recommend staying there when on the Central Coast.

The room was a great size and adequate for an overnight or weekly stay, however the rooms are tired looking and need an upgrade. There is secure parking for your vehicle. The bed and bedding were lovely.
