Beds were REALLY comfortable ( I usually never sleep well in hotels) Everything was spotlessly clean, fixtures & furnishing were a little dated but that’s what we expected in this exceptionally well priced facility during January holiday period. Pool was lovely & clean with a shaded area to sit by. Would definitely stay here again

Honestly, at this price point, we wouldn’t complain about anything, Everything was clean & in working order, property was walking distance to where we needed to get to. Staff were lovely & friendly, check in was chick & easy, no complaints AT ALL

Admiral Nelson Motor Inn provides very affordable accomodation, the rooms are spacious and clean with comfortable beds. All staff are friendly and extremely helpful. Beds made everyday if you choose, rubbish bin emptied and towels are changed everyday. Their swimming pool on site, is a nice place to cool off and relax. It is only a short walk to Little Beach, which is a beautiful and safe swimming beach. It is close to all the best places to see and visit.

the size was very good, staff very helpful. We appreciate the decor, the religion tone and the peaceful environment. Under the bed needed a vacuum. We have stayed they many time before and we will stay again. I would like to know of special offers within advance notice.

Under the bed needed a vacuum and the exhaust fan was very noisy. Other than that we want to stay longer. My partner is elderly and everything else is suitable. We really want to stay several times a years. As ex Airforce living in Nelson Bay many years ago, it brings back wonderful memories.

Great restaurant across the road and within walking distance to the marina. Room was clean and the premises was tidy as well. Although the property has a pool it is locked and you need staff to open it making it difficult to feel the water.

Hate where everything is closed on Mondays, not that the motel can help that as it is a weekend location. Only one power point in kitchen so not much to plug into to charge devices.

Our experience at the Admiral Nelson Inn was very good. Our room was quite spacious with a very comfy bed, large TV and above all clean. The location is central close to beaches, cafes and amenities. We found the staff to be friendly and helpful. The place is value for money and I would highly recommend.

Room was large and clean with a pleasant balcony. Easy parking.

There was no water when we arrived because something was being repaired. We weren’t told about this before checking in. Nor were we offered complimentary bottled water. Reception guessed that water would be restored in half an hour but it was well over an hour.

The room was clean and had everything we needed. It was quiet, even though we were quite close to the road. The bed was comfortable. It was a short drive to to restaurants and beaches.

The shelves in the fridge were quite flimsy and easily broken. The only accessible plug that I could find was near the sink in the kitchenette area, so boiling a kettle had to be done in close proximity to the sink, which I felt was unsafe.

the room is spacious, complete with towels and kitchen amenities like microwave, electric kettle, plates,cutleries, dishwashing soap , the toilet and bathroom were clean , the size of the bedrooms were great.parking space is great. the location is great not too far from the marina.

the AC is not clean that’s why we did not use it, the weather is ok anyway.the pool is not ready yet when we came back at past 2 pm , the staff said pool was being clean at 1 pm , that’s why we came back late so it will be ready by then but it’s not .they did clean it though but we have to wait so we just rest instead.
