Encore by Mingara

8/10 Good

"It was clean and amazing"

The Select Inn Gosford

8/10 Good

"This place is a funny mix of nice and not. It's an old motel. The gardens are lovely. The pool is nice but not heated (had a swim but it was freezing on a hot day). The gym area is spacious but doesn't have any treadmills or rowing machines. The room was large and mostly clean and updated but feels dated. The tiled area at the entrance was dirty. The bathroom was modernised but smelled awful. The breakfast fridge was great. Noodles, yoghurt, cereal, fresh fruit, nut bars, flavoured milk, juice, croissants, coffee. Location is very central with easy access to the shopping centre."

The Clan Terrigal

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel!"
