Fabulous stay. From the first welcome by Natalie in reception to the size and comfort of the room, everything was fantastic. A big surprise was that our room was being checked to ensure all clean and ready for our stay when we arrived, not seen that before. Bed is super comfy with plenty of room to move around. Microwave and the addition of a toaster in the room made it a very convenient stay. Would certainly come back again if in the area and it’s a much nicer place to stay than our previous stays in Maitland itself. I highly recommend this accommodation.
