Air con was not working. Tiny cabin for three people like a submarine. Closet toilet and shower not enough room to even dry yourself. Paid for breakfast for three and told not available until 7am - useless when you need an early start. Just a horrible place. Avoid like the plague. Would be overpriced at $50

Air conditioning worked but walls were dirty and there were cobwebs on the ceiling. No cover over the drain in the shower. Terrible odour in the bathroom. I understand it was a cheap hotel but we expected better - cleanliness should be a priority

We ordered breakfast. Disappointed that only Granola was available and two oranges left. The fruit should have been replenished and the cereal options as people ate. Only white bread available. Why not wholemeal? I asked for an extra pillow at 2.15pm. Told yes. Not there when we got back at 7.45pm. Then no pillows available.

Check in was good. Good location. Wasn't impressed with having to pay for parking. The room was terrible. Bugs everywhere, toiler, bathroom area was disgusting. The area absolutely stunk. I had to complain to reception. The highway next ot the motel was extremely noisy. My son is in the RAAF, Williamtown and I frequent the Newcastle area. The Ibis Budget, Wallsend was without a doubt the worst place I have stayed in. If there is some incentive for me to return, I'd like Ibis or Hotels.com to consider this. May a free night's accommodation adnd parking. If not, I will not stay there ever again.

Fleeting stop over.

Room was expected being an old Formule 1, very small with tiny bathroom, but it did the job for a few hours stopover on the way to Sydney. Location is very close off the M1, so it is very convenient. Getting a little older now, but clean and tidy.

Nice basic room not far from the freeway. Good for a night. Try get a room on parking lot side as the road side can be a little noisy. Check in took a little long as the staff member was new and needed more training. The stay is what you would expect for a budget hotel.

No no no

No no no! You won’t sleep here. Everything was poor. It’s as if you’re sleeping outside next to a busy street, there is no sound proofing at all and windows aren’t sealed. There was also a constant drip in the bathroom throughout the night but the drip was inside the toilet system. Hallway was also loud. Unfriendly reception. Hotel charges you extra for everything, like parking and even checking out 30 minutes later at 10:30! The breakfast was awful! Not worth it.
