The room was very clean but overall in a very tired condition, especially the shower. Although situated on a main road, it was quiet, which was surprising. The golf club is a 10min walk away & although also needs a revamp, the food was good & reasonably priced. They are currently renovating the restaurant at the hotel so it wasn’t open but hopefully once that’s done, they move onto the rooms. However I would definitely stay there again as it was convenient.

Perfect for what we needed. Not the comfiest bed but did the trick. Screen door kept coming off and even though I booked for 3 people, we were only given 2 towels and two cups?!
Made for a great time post shower with long hair and only a hand towel to use to dry myself.

Beds were comfortable and the room was clean

Definitely needs a lift or ramp for mobility challenged people as 99% if the rooms are up stairs

Disappointed that the restaurant was closed - that was one of the reasons we booked the John Hunter. By the time (weeks later) that we were told the restaurant was closed it was too late to book elsewhere.

Our room was spacious for 3 adults. Comfy beds. Clean bathroom. Plenty of teas and coffees. Quiet surroundings, so it was very peaceful. No staff as it was Christmas Day, but I had received a courtesy call earlier in the week advising how to check-in, which was easy. Friendly staff, as staff on duty Boxing Day. Thanks Tony.

Nice and quiet but in need of some repairs.

I stayed in a room at the rear of the property, which was beautifully quiet. The room was very dated and tired, needing some repairs/refreshment. I had to fix the screw onto the cold water tap over the hand basin in the bathroom and the hot water tap in the shower. The room had a microwave, a toaster and an electric jug but no cutlery or crockery.

This property is in a very quiet area , close to shopping centres and clubs. The only negative is that the reception area doesn't seem to be manned as regularly as one would like but, overall, I do recommend this motel for anyone wishing to stay in Muswellbrook.

Needs updating

There was hardly anyone around but the room we got had a broken toilet lid so every time you sat down it would bang you on the back. There were supposed to be blockout curtains and for me this is a huge plus but the curtains were not blockout and didn’t even reach the middle so lots of light in the room when you are trying to sleep. People showering at 3am and clanging about so lots of interrupted sleep.

Website states check-in times for each day of the week -(Sunday 8am to 6pm). Arrived 4pm on Sunday to discover office shut. Only a very vaguely worded notice stuck to wall saying that a 1300 number needed to be rung to obtain a code to open the lock box on the wall. Once we figured that out, rang the 1300 number and obtained the code number to open the box to retrieve our keys. Had to enter by a back door and up stairs to our room. No staff anywhere. Room not especially clean either.
Certainly won't be staying there again.

Bump in the Road.

THis was my second stay. This time I had a walk in shower instead of over the bath...... winning. I was away from the Hwy noise...... winning. Last time room service was amazing, hot and fast; this time it took the kitchen an hour to tell me they couldn't make my order so I had a burger instead (another 20mins) It was tasty but the fries on the side were cold and nasty. I did receive an apology and a couple of ciders.... nice. I will keep coming back but hope the kitchen has its act together next visit.

The Shower broke, faulty locks on doors, no exhaust fan in the bathroom, a dial radio from the 70’s, cabinetry past it’s serviceable lifespan, etc.
The staff were trying their hardest, but it looked like they had no support or investment in training.
