Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
This is a good 1970's style motel. If it was $85 per night it would have ranked another "dot" for value. I stayed two nights.
Room clean, staff friendly and helpful.
Small rooms, but clean. TV needed replacing but I found it had some "charm".

No frills accommodation. It is close to the M1 and ok for an overnight stay. The bathrooms are very small. There only appeared to be 5 Foxtel channels and the picture was very snowy. Free Wi-Fi. Although the rooms are quite clean, this gets over shadowed because everything is so old and dated. I personally think it is overpriced for what you get.

I have never written a review re. accommodation but this is so necessary. I am a senior citizen and looking for a full time rental, it’s extremely hard on my income so I have to rely on temporary accommodation at present. I was put up at the Mayfield Motel for 8 nights and I have never been so scared in my life. The office is NEVER attended, I saw the cleaner once outside and the place is filthy…filthy! There was a microwave, kettle and toaster but the power points didn’t work. Everything I touched was sticky, I wore shoes the whole time because I didn’t know what was on the carpet. It took me over an hour to clean the shower and had to soak the shower curtain because it was covered in mould! I thankfully had my own linen, pillows and doona. Don’t start me on that! 😖 This motel is temporary accommodation for addicts and homeless, no one cleans the pool or surrounds and the car park is littered with cigarette butts.
In my 7 days there was no manager sited, office never open ( the sign on the door was false) Office hours 9am-8pm…What a joke! I called the number on the door…by the way..that’s the only form of communication. Do yourself a favour….drive a bit further to the other motels and pay a bit more. Trust me …do not stay here!

Foolishly we didn't read these reviews before booking ... Schoolgirl error indeed!!! Having trusted Budget motels handy little booklet given out in Sydney we booked for a one night stop over on our journey North. Thank goodness it was only one night. The room was small and very very dated. The bathroom bleak and cold with windows that cannot be closed !! Any other booked rooms were taken by local port workers who noisily arrived back from dinner at 10pm and left at 7am not like church mice!!! The lady was lovely and I feel bad leaving such an honest negative review but that's what I love about tripadvisor is people say it as it is. Go elsewhere if you have the choice!!

I stayed here on a Friday night in May, en route to a friend’s house. I’d searched the Internet looking for a 1960s motel in the area and was so excited to find the Mayfield.
My stay did not disappoint. Kathy the owner was just lovely. Welcoming, warm, and had a wonderful knowledge of the area and some great stories to tell.
My room was cosy, spotless and comfortable, and I slept like a baby. The fresh milk on arrival was a great, homely touch.
I would have loved to take a dip in the pool under the palm trees but it was a little chilly for that. I’m planning another visit soon as the vintage charm and neon signage of this motel has me hooked!
Thanks Kathy, for a fabulous stay. I can’t recommend your motel enough!

I was pleasantly surprised to find an immaculately clean and spotless room and bedroom. Everything in the room was in good working order. Yes, the decor is dated but when you only need a room for a night, this place was perfect! It had everything I needed - tv, air con, tv making facilities, small fridge, iron and ironing board, towels, soap and shampoos and a comfortable bed. What more do you need? The staff here are very friendly, helpful and welcoming!

Yes this is an older motel but it is a great motel. Close to the Calvary Mater Hospital and Kathy and Warwick will do anything for you, great people :) I travel frequently and will be using this for our Newcastle base. Rooms have everything you need so give them ago.

Biggest mistake I ever made… Don’t stay here!!! After reading some reviews, and needing a place to stay for 5nts while doing a training course, it ticked the boxes that I heeded, manly the location! Unfortunately after the first night of no sleep due to the noise from, what I would say drug dealing from other room?’s! Loud violent voices, it was scary… I asked to cancel the next 4nts to move elsewhere but was denied a refund! Stuck in hell for 5nts, better get some earbuds… so I unpacked and had a look at the room. OMG phots attached! The cleanliness of the room was a disgrace… FYI a health hazard, what I found under the bed, and the dust everywhere… after showing the manager, he still refused my refund and said that all other rooms are book? I have it cleaned tomorrow, sit mate I’ve need to sleep in this mess! Then I was told, leave if you’re not happy. WTF! Pls pls pls do stay here! I never write reviews, but I have to let everyone know how bad this place is. Look at the room and underneath the bed before you pay!!!
