Amanda at reception was amazing.Welcoming, friendly and any request was handled promptly. The family room suited the needs of three adults. As the facility was due to shutdown in a matter days for 12 months of renovations, the restaurant being closed was not a problem.

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.

A one night stay. Our room was at the back of the complex. No traffic noise. The room was spacious and the bed reasonable. In desperate need of a make over. Very shabby, particularly the bathroom. The location doesn't allow for walking to any food venues. Would we stay there again ??????

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.

Wow what a dump, how about painting the place, fixing the vanity, putting a shower curtain or door on the shower. Overpriced at $150 and I almost forgot the cockroaches. Avoid.

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.
