Gateshead Tavern Motel
Very clean and comfortable room for a bargain price. Bit of noise late at night from inconsiderate guests and hotel patrons but that can happen anywhere and was only brief.

Would have given it 5 stars but the hallways smelt from room service trays being left in the hallways. Staff were fantastic as was the pool and waterslide.
