Hunter Valley Travellers Rest Motel

"In desperate need of a refresh and refurb, left as soon as the kids woke the next morning as felt ick. Carpet was worn, had ants crawling over the bed, fridge had excessive surface rust and a/c was spitting ice out when turned on, with no fan or windows able to be opened (during heatwave). The oddest part were the two bedside lamps with light globes that were purely decorative as there were no power points they could reach so had to use bright overhead lights to feed baby overnight. Signs in foyer suggest 5% discount if you book directly and not a third party website however was charged surcharge for using eftpos upon arriving. Price was on par with other local hotels but quality did not seem to be. Will not be returning."

Cessnock Hotel, Hunter Valley

"Originally booked the Hotel to attend a winery concert but it was cancelled, so we decided to still do the 2 nights and explore the area. It wasn't overly expensive, but the twins/double were pretty small, so space was at a premium and it was shared facilities. Sleep quality was good with little noise from the pub. But the common kitchen & the bathrooms we used weren't attended during our stay which was disappointing as used towels stayed on the floor plus the kitchen garbage bin was overflowing? The place was not very busy, so no real reason that it was left as it was. All in all, it was a good stay, and you get what you pay for and it's a great location to stay for sure if visiting the Hunter Valley!"
