Holiday Inn Express Newcastle by IHG
Very friendly and helpful staff throughout the weekend. Room was clean, breakfast was ok. Nothing fancy but nice to be included. Very quiet too and close enough to some restaurants and cafes. About 10min to Honeysuckle district. Would definitely stay there again.
