Advantages: Lovely beaches, easy to reach, cheap, chilled Disadvantages: Best accessible by bus or train...but a car is useful once there
...destination in the area, there is a good selection of accommodation, including hotel chains such as Ibis and CrownePlaza, motels and B&Bs and a couple of backpacker hostels. We stayed in the YHA Newcastle Beach and the standard of accommodation was incredible. This cost the two of us 43 GBP in total for 2 nights.

We ended up staying one night and found a really nice place called 'Toad Hall Hotel' {441 Elizabeth St., Melbourne (03...

Well im back onto the hotel reviews again after a recent visit to Ottawa in Canada. After freezing my buttocks off and nestling into my scarf grabbing my bags and rushing into the hotel I had little chance to look at the exterior of the hotel!

We stayed here for a week recently on a trip to Orlando to visit Universal Studios and Sea World. We stayed in a Disney hotel later on in the holiday so we didn't mind that it was a long way from Disney. We bought it as part of a package deal including... more
