Guest Reviews
- Podham (7/5): Good bed, good sleep, happy travelers. - We wanted a bed that did not cost an arm and a leg, this is what we got. Easy to find, and close to what we needed. Would stay again if the need arises. A floor mat for the bathroom would be a nice touch. just a floor mat for the bathroom

- C. Bell (9/5): - Well presented, close to the venue we were attending, very friendly owner, very clean & tidy. N/A
- Kane (10/5): It was quiet and one of the best stays I’ve had at a hotel so far - It’s quiet and open Wasn’t anything not to like
- Louise (8/5): We have stayed at this motel before. It’s comfortable and served our needs - Didn’t have breakfast. There were only two tea bags in our room. Had to ask for more.
- leesa (7/5): - Quiet room and comfy bed No cutlery, low shower head
- Joan (7/5): - The room and beds were comfortable with tea/coffee facilities and a fridge. The room was dark during the day but we had plenty to do in the area so that wasn't a big deal. We made use of the dining area to eat our breakfast and evening meals where plates, cutlery and a microwave were provided, however it wasn't obvious to patrons that this was possible. The receptionist was friendly, helpful and professional and we are very grateful that she could assist us with a request we made. Value for money but feel the property could do with an uplift and make more use of the space
- Selvaraj Sundaram (10/5): -
- Melissa (10/5): A great stop over to rest after a long drive. A hidden gem of a budget motel. Clean & tidy, everything works, great - Lovely family run budget motel. Comfy, clean and great location in a quiet area on the outskirts of Cessnock. My dog welcomed here for an extra fee. Great value for a budget motel.
- Kyron (5/5): - Location Run down, very dated
- Imogen (10/5): -
- Peter (8/5): Quite reasonable - No plates r cutlery
- Ken (5/5): - Comfortable beds. We had two rooms, one was very quiet the other had noisy neighbours shouting very late at night. We had two rooms. One room was fine, but the other had cockroaches in it, even on the bed!!

- PAOLA ANDREA BARRIOS RODRIGUEZ (10/5): - It was clean and tidy, receptionist girl was really helpful, parking spot available, easy to access. 👌
- Vicki (9/5): Staff were friendly and the rooms were clean. Close to all amenities. - It was close to all amentinities, shops, restaurants, wineries, and everything you need.
- Becky (4/5): Dog friendly but otherwise give it a miss. - The room was big, the air con was adequate.
The hotel is dog friendly which is why we chose it. No staff onsite - seems to be run via cameras and phone.
Ants in one corner of the room. Cockraoches. Cockroach poo on the beds. Generally not cleaned very well - filthy under the beds.
- Tina (10/5): Excellent value for money - Value for money.Lovely room.Other permanent guests were welcoming and friendly.A top spot to stay
- Stuart (10/5): -
- Jessie (3/5): Poor quality for price you pay. Room we has wasn’t anything like the pictures. - Very little to like about the place. Needs a good update. Room we had looks nothing like the picture. Old and things are rusty, falling apart. Has a funny unlikeable smell about the place. We ticked the box for an extra bed or cot and when we got to reception they said they didn’t offer any extra beds, why offer something you can’t provide.
- Don (9/5): We had an enjoyable stay - It was neat and comfortable. The shower head is a bit low for a tall person
- Mikila (7/5): Not bad for the price - Clean As one room is very close to staff area it was abit noisey til late, rooms are very small but ok
- Ashitha (6/5): -
- Anthony (1/5): -
- Antje (3/5): - Der Kühlschrank und der Parkplatz. Im Zimmer gab es eine Blase im Boden, die man jedes Mal gespürt hat, wenn man drübergelaufen ist. Die Vorhänge waren schmutzig und es gab keine Halterung für sie. Die Fenster waren ebenfalls schmutzig Beim Fernseher hingen die Kabel einfach herum. Die Kaffeetassen waren angeschlagen. Sollte man tauschen. Insgesamt wirkte das Motel heruntergekommen und lieblos. Ich würde es auf keinen Fall noch einmal buchen.

However if you were looking for an entry point to the hunter valley this little motel honestly is a great place to start.
That first weekend away stay here and explore the hunter valley... Wow great choice!
- Ken (3/5): - Not a lot , needs up dating. Very small rooms. Two tvs one didn’t work and the other we couldn’t turn the sound up. Two air conditioners. One didn’t work. Very small fridge with no racks and needed to be defrosted lots of holes in the walls. No one at reception. Had to phone to talk to someone. As above
- Kim (8/5): Excellent value for money - The family room booked looked exactly as pictured on the website (just reversed) the room was very clean and wheelchair accessibility was excellent
- Saunders (6/5): -
- Kori (7/5): -
- Wilma (2/5): Paid more than the double normal rate due to an event being held that weekend. $200 per night I would have expected a be - Not much Very basic
- Hosford (7/5): Very pleasant stay with no problems. - N/A Overall it was good value for money
- Samantha (8/5): -
- KAREN (6/5): -
- Simon (6/5): -
- Hazel (10/5): -
- Pradeep (1/5): - Nothing. Ever since I entered the hotel, I felt it was a serioud joke as the carpets looked they were not cleaned for a very long time or they were not changed. My wife xomplained there was some bad smell coming out from some where. The basin faucet was broken. We could have let go of any other issues but the commode plate is the worst of all. It is at its expiry date as it looked someone had scratched it. I have a pic too. It seemed as if the hotel has utter disregard to its customers.
