Things can get noisy
Chifley Executive Suites is located in the heart of Newcastle so things can get really noisy at night, especially on the weekends. If you're looking for a quieter stay, ask for an apartment facing away from the main road and on a high floor.
negative:
There's a charge for Wi-Fi
It's unfortunate that this hotel charges a fee for Wi-Fi, especially in this day and age when so many people rely on their cell phones and other devices for communication.
negative:
No daily housekeeping
The housekeeping staff only visits every fourth day and although they do a great job when they show up, this could prove inconvenient if you don't have time to wash your towels and tidy up.
