Booked three rooms for one night. Excellent value at just over $100 for Sunday night. Probably best option in town and much cheaper than nearby vineyards. Biggest let down was bistro next door - waited almost 1 hour for basoc food and service left a lot to be desired. Would still reccomend hotel - just heed local advice and eat... More

Stayed here on our way from Sydney to Woolgoolga. It is right in the middle of the wonderful Hunter Valley wine country. The price was reasonable, the location great, the rooms clean and comfortable, the staff friendly and helpful. Walking distance to restaurants in town. Sits adjacent to a small shopping center and has plenty of free parking. For some... More

We hired a car to go to the Hunter Valley, so therefore didn't need to be in the heart of the vineyards, and opted to stay in the town of Cessnock instead - 10 mins drive away. This motel/ hotel did not disappoint! The young guy on reception was really helpful, and recommended an excellent variety of vineyards to try.... More

We stayed for one night in January 2013. The location is great. Handy to shops and restaurants and the Cessnock Leauge Supporters Club is just across the drive with a good bistro and all normal club facilities. It was one of the hottest days in history (45 degrees celsius) and there is no air conditioning in the lift or the... More

We did not know what to expect. Being a motor Inn, I expected it to be dreary like most the others. Whilst it doesn't look like much from the outside the rooms were newly renovated, clean, air-conditioned and well presented. I mentioned to my husband that it was in better condition that the Novotel we stayed in a week earlier,... More

Stayed one night. Room spotlessly clean and comfortable. Free wi-fi with excellent signal. Staff friendly and helpful. Ideal location for Wine Country tours. Close to all club entertainment, restaurants and shopping centre. Great stop-over Brisbane to Sydney run. Definitely stay again and highly recommend to others.

This hotel looks out over the supermarket car park but if you positioned yourself in a certain way on the bed, you can look at the palm trees in the small park opposite instead! It was clean and perfectly fine - just lacks character. The phone didn't work so we used our mobile to request the wifi network and password.... More

The exterior doesn't look like much but the inside has been recently renovated. It's modern and clean. It's right in the center of Cessnock surrounded by shops. There isn't much in Cessnock but the motor inn is a great alternative if you are on budget and can't afford the expensive accommodation in the Hunter.

We spent two nights here and were extremely pleased with our stay. The young man at reception was very pleasant, helpful and informative. The room was very clean and comfortable with a good bed and great shower. This motel is centrally located within walking distance to local shops, cafes and restaurants.
