The rooms were clean and adequate. For the money spent, I wouldn’t expect anything more. A little disappointed that the breakfast room was closed ( my guess covid related) , but the bed was comfortable and the shower hot, what more can you ask for

Right in the heart of Nelson Bay with the best cafe in town on Ground floor. Really loved the renovated and restyled room, the spa, the complimentary goodies and the friendly and efficient staff. Absolutely loved the views.

Functional

Reviewed By Mariusz S

This is a typical Australian motel stuck in the last century. The good point was that it was clean and the location is good, central. The negatives were many. It's noisy, paper thin walls, the accessories are extremely cheap and old, the bathroom is really ugly. The price? well, not that cheap for a place to sleep only. You're basically getting a bed for the night for quite a bit of money. If that is what you are after, coming in at 10pm and leaving in the morning and paying the asked price, then this is the place for you.

JUST WONDERFUL

Reviewed By kathyhT5410CB

I could not fault this motel. Cozy rooms nice shower. You can have room service or eat in their dining room. Food was delicious. This is all at very competitive prices for food and accommodation. What impressed us the most was the hosts. They were so kind and could not do enough for you. We went to Tasmania for 3 weeks. They drove us in there little shuttle to the airport at 5.30 in the morning all with a smile on there face. It was just very stress free. Highly recommended.

Reviewed By Nelso355

I have stayed at this motel on multiple occasions and dealt with an older man who is always extremely nice and great for a chat, the kind of place you can’t remember the room but can remember the man at the desk. So we booked again to stay recently. As we arrive at the security gate the office was closed, we started to ring the after hours number and next minute a 40-50s yr old man came storming out of the underground carpark telling us to piss off they have nothing and to get away. I told him we had a booking and he just kept yelling at us to get out and get away. We were both taken back and thought maybe it was some nut job or a drunk causing trouble but we then saw him walk in to the office and start playing on the computer so it was obviously whoever was working that day. We ended up calling Hotel Nelson just up the road and they were fantastic, and around 25% cheaper for a MUCH nicer room. I will NEVER be back to Nelson Towers, with this style of management I can’t imagine it will last long anyway. To top it off we got an email saying we were a no show to our booking. The carpark was quite clearly empty that we could see and walking around the town that night for dinner none of the rooms had lights on.

Absolutely disgusting

Reviewed By Slandalist

Not fit for non-junkies! I got put here with my partner and son as temporary accommodation and id rather be anywhere else than here. I did not feel safe at all, my window latch was broken with easy access into my room from the outside, my partner ended up having to find a stick to jam the window shut. The TV’s HDMI port didn’t work from the moment we got here so we then decided to plug in the kids hard drive and then the USB port on their TV blew after only 30minutes of using it. The hotel room has cockroaches all throughout it to the point they were crawling on my sons portacot and right next to me on the bedside tables. We didn't even have a microwave to be able to heat up bottles or to be able to make any form of food. There is some form of concrete stuck to the bottom of the toilet plus when we first got here the toilet didn’t work, my partner had to fix the toilet himself for us to be able to use it. The shower has a soap buildup all over the glass and wall. There was glass on the bathroom floor along with a whole bunch of dirt, rocks, finger nails and more. There were incense stick in our hotel room which is a clear indication that there were smokers here before us. The curtains are highly stained. Whilst standing out side with our son me and my partner were approach by someone who was clearly off their head and it made us feel very uncomfortable especially with our son present. All the little milk things in the fridge were out of date by over a year and they were all chunky and disgusting.
