Best Western Plus Apollo Hotel Newcastle
"Because we asked for no airfreshner to be sprayed we were given a disability bathroom , an accessibility room. It was ok but I would have preferred a better room for what we paid. Microwave cost us $20 extra. We were given a much better room last time we stayed. A bit disappointing."
