Golf Club at Newcastle Tours

Overall would not stay here again for three main reasons. One, both Expedia and the hotel failed to notify me that there was an additional $80 PER NIGHT at check in. Expedia sent me my invoice at booking that said there was only a $80 fee at check in. Not stated PER NIGHT anywhere. Yes this was a refundable fee, but it was never stated ahead of time and it was a shock to pay an additional $320 ($80 x 4 nights) at check in. Two, check in was with a seemingly polite worker however she didn’t say she was charging me the $320 until my card refused to approve the charge. She simply requested a card on file like any hotel, but tapped it to the card reader herself without my permission. I have my card locked and when she finally told me what she was doing and what the charge was I was shocked and immediately contacted Expedia to confirm what was going on. The withholding of information and how she was charging my card without my knowledge or permission was unacceptable. Third, the room was fairly clean however there were multiple strands of hair on the pillows, bedsheets, under the bedsheets, and in the bathrooms and towels. I’ve stayed in cheaper hotels that were much cleaner. Again, overall would never stay here again.

We really enjoyed this stay. The room was spacious and very clean. Since this hotel is part of an apartment, there weren't the typical hospitality and amenities. No restaurant or room service, spotty front desk responses. All that said, we did love the property. The game room, gym, basketball court, music room were incredible. Likely we'll look for something next time that has more amenities in the future. But only because of convenience for late night food, room service, etc.
