I had a mixed experience at the Brick Hotel. The location is charming, nestled in a historic town with plenty of options nearby. The rooms were spacious but showed signs of wear, and unfortunately, the service lacked a personal touch as there were no staff on-site apart from the restaurant. The restaurant offered good food, but I missed having more amenities and a functional air conditioning unit. Overall, I found the hotel to have character, but it definitely needs some updates.

I was captivated by the historic charm of the area, and the Brick Hotel's location was perfect for exploring Newtown. However, my experience with the room was far from ideal, as I encountered cleanliness issues and uncomfortable amenities. The lack of onsite staff added to the unsettling feeling during my stay.
