    Our son is going to the local university and we were glad to stay at this hotel. Great staff, very friendly,room was perfect for us, and the dining... options were good. A few blocks from the train station, and the local downtown which had a very nice charm to it. Thank-you! Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Nov 4, 2011

    The harbor view rooms at the Crowne Plaza Newcastle have an an interesting harbor view. The city view rooms do not have a view worth looking at - these rooms are not enjoyable. We had one of these rooms for 3 nights. The reception staff, while pleasant, we're not particularly helpful in getting An upgrade to a harbirview room. We waited three nights […] for an upgrade. When we did get a habour view room we could only use enjoy it for one Morning. Overall this is a conveniently located hotel with some rooms having an interesting view but overall this is not a hotel I can strongly recommend. Read more

    The location of the hotel is great and works well for being situated amidst the Wharf area. The cleanliness of the hotel was not great - the toilet had not been cleaned prior to our arrival, was full of urine and the bathroom stank. It was cleaned when we asked at reception, but this did put us off for the rest of the visit.

    We booked for 3 people, we were only given 2 towels each day. The sofa double bed was really uncomfortable. Every staff member we dealt with was extremely helpful. The restaurant was exceptional. The food and service were amazing. The pool was fine. Many places to see close by. We had a harbour view room and watching the ships and tugs day and night […] was really interesting. The gym was very well appointed and has motivated us to join a gym near home. Would love to go back to Crowne Plaza Newcastle, however we would avoid the sofa bed. Parking was a little expensive, there is plenty of street parking. Read more

The only draw back was the lax attitude of some of the staff but interacting with them was not essential. Everything else about the hotel was excellent. DM

    We had a lovely suite which had views over the water and towards the city. It's in a great, central location just a short walk to several good restaurants and bars, but still very quiet. The location was also great being so close to the water and boardwalk, excellent for a walk/run. The rooms are very comfortable, clean and nicely appointed, I think […] the only thing which could be improved on is the bathroom, ours looked a bit dated and still had a shower curtain but otherwise all was very clean and the bed was very comfy, with lovely linen.Great for couples or business travellers, would definately stay there again.

    We stayed for 4 nights in the Crowne Plaza Newcastle and were extremely happy with the size of the room and the amenities. Our room had a kitchenette, large bathroom with spa bath big enough for two, a small lounge area with balcony and tv and a separate bedroom area with ability to close off from rest of apartment and another tv and balcony. The bed […] was large and comfy, the curtains also block a lot of sunlight for those who like to sleep in! House keeping came every day, and for the days that we had our privacy sigh on the door, a package was left with clean towels and soaps etc. The pool and pool area were nice and clean. The hotel is within walking distance to cafes, restaurants and the beach. The staff were really nice and even offered us an umbrella to take with us when it was raining, Read more

    Room was nice however issues with TV were not resolved, nothing was offered in place of it, or change of room. Parking was an issue, so had to pay for valet parking. And even though I paid 2 months prior to travelling, they charged someone elses room to my card, I guess an honest mistake, but if I hadnt checked, who wouldve known?
