[PerthMariner]

Last time I was in Gosford was in the 80's.

What about motel f1 west Gosford down the road from bts

 

[Wombat]

Tbe F1 is cheap but crap. The Galaxy is very nice and is attached to Gosford RSL which is a nice club.

The Best Western is not bad.

They have recently refurbed the big motel (possibly the gateway?) on the left hand side as you come into West Gosford.

Don't forget to visit East Gosford Thai Massage to get rid of those travel aches! Tell them Jim sent you and they will give you $10 off for the hour.

I'll get you the name of a couple of other motels later.

Why the hell did you suggest it then? Why do you think this guy asked for a recommendation? Answer... to avoid a stay in a crap hotel.

The Best Western is not bad , as mr wombat said .
you sound like a young bloke . turn up at bay 16 if your willing to fly
from wa, people will find you a swag

Welcome to the forum PerthMariner.
Anyone that travels from Perth to support the Mariners is going to be warmly welcomed in Bay 16.
The best place to stay is probably Crowne Plaza Terrigal,despite the recent tragedy there.
The bus stop to Gosford is across the road so it`s easy travelling to & from the game.

Gosford Palms motor inn looked nice when I dropped in some flyers a few months ago.

Crowne plaza is great but not cheap. The Mantra at Ettalong Beach is very good but you would have to get a bus to the game.

 

[priorpeter]

If you plan on having a couple of drinks stay around gosford area - pain in the arse getting to/from ettalong/terrigal etc, unless you wanna shell out $40-$50 each way for cabs.
Best western is alright, nice and close to the stadium too.

What game you going to see (start time & time of year will determine whether some places are worth it & how's the coin?

The Crowne Plaza is worth it depending how long you are around. If you got all day & next day to enjoy it but if it's a fly in watch the game get pissed at club just need a bed before I take off early then don't waste your time.

You are probably not aware of what people are on about in regards to the Plaza but a 19yr old boy fell/jumped from the 6th floor (I think) reportedly trying to jump in to the pool at his mothers 60th birthday celebrations & died after hitting the ground. Family trying to say he wasn't drunk but a daredevil (media ran with drunk)

I think you misspelt "f**king idiot".

I'd suspect even if he'd made the pool, the outcome would have been the same

PerthMariner - I'd consider what Big Al said above if you're making a couple of days of it. If you're just here for the night , the game and being walking distance to the stadium (and station) is desirable, either the Galaxy, Gosford Palms or Best Western.
