The hotel is in a great location at Newcastle Beach close to restaurants and shops. The area is very walkable. They only ever seemed to have one person at the front desk and when we checked in there was no help with the bags other than pointing out the baggage cart. When we asked for help with the bags we were told that we would have to wait 45 minutes for any help (from the car to the room). The cleanliness of the room was unacceptable. There was a nasty stain on the bed cover and in the three days I stayed at the hotel, the bed cover was not changed and it was clear that no one inspected it or they surely would have changed it. Also, washing of the coffee cups in the room was totally inadequate. There were coffee stains on the outside the the mugs that were presented as clean and ready for use.

The location was great, the lady that checked us in was very polite and they were quick to attend the blockage with the sink. However, we also had an issue with the shower drain and the bathroom was flooded with water and we had to put our towels to clean it up. They also charges me extra for drinks when I was give. Drink vouchers for the bistro at breakfast time. But they refunded that promptly.

The staff were very friendly and helpful and the location is great, but the ocean view balcony room we booked was in fact a room looking directly into an office building with a slight view of the water over top of the office building. The office staff were very visible to us and had a direct view to our room which was very unnerving. The balcony was also locked and not useable. The room also had a musty/cleaning product smell that was very noticeable. These items unfortunately made our stay at Novotel disappointing, despite the extremely nice front desk staff and great area the hotel is located in. The room we were in should be properly advertised and not over-sold. We would not have paid as much as we did had we known the actual situation.
