Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negatives. While the room didn't offer the promised views of Brokenback Ranges or vineyards, it was surprisingly clean and comfortable for what essentially felt like a motel room. The service was excellent, especially when we needed to cancel and rebook due to flooding - thanks to Susan and his staff for being so welcoming and helpful. The location had a lovely view from the front verandah and a great atmosphere with live music at night, but being above the pub area could be a bit noisy. The dining experience, although with room for improvement, offered a great hangover breakfast deal that was worth it. The hotel facilities were decent, with some highlights and areas that could be enhanced.
My stay at the hotel was mixed. The rooms were clean and spacious, but some areas like the pool and patio needed attention. The location was beautiful, but there were some issues with dining options and pricing.
The hotel was just right for us, accommodating my family and my brother's family comfortably. The rooms were fabulous, although they could have been a bit tidier and would benefit from some paint and new furniture. The staff was very friendly and went above and beyond to assist, especially with local knowledge. However, the service was slightly let down as the rooms needed more attention to cleanliness. The location was brilliant, offering great value for money, with spacious rooms and unexpected visitors like kangaroos. The dining experience was excellent and made it easier for us, with a fantastic variety of food. The facilities were well-maintained and added to overall comfort.
The hotel was cozy, with a convenient car spot right outside, perfect for a one-night stay. The rooms, although a bit tired, need some extra attention, but overall, they were comfortable and warm. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. The central location was ideal for exploring the Valley and nearby wineries, despite some noise issues. The dining options were impressive, offering a variety of tasty choices. The facilities were satisfactory, but improvements could be made.
I stayed at the hotel, which was reasonably priced. The rooms were spacious, although some repairs were needed in the bathroom. The location was central and convenient, but it was noisy due to its proximity to the bar at night.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of pleasant and not-so-great experiences. The rooms were a little tired but still nice, the service was excellent but had some minor disturbances, the location was convenient but lacked family-friendly amenities, the dining was a bit of a hit and miss, and the facilities were overall good.
The hotel had a mix of positive and negative aspects. The rooms were infested with spiders, cockroaches, and dust, but they were spacious. The courtyard was available but enclosed. The service, despite some miscommunication, was pleasant, informative, and welcoming. The location was nice overall, but needed better lighting at night. The dining experience had some highs and lows, including a great selection but also room for improvement. The facilities were decent overall.
The hotel offers small rooms compared to others in the same price range, but it includes a private patio and undercover parking. The stay was good overall, thanks to these amenities.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, providing a great place to relax. The staff were friendly and attentive, although there were some issues with communication. The location was superb, offering stunning vineyard views and easy access to local attractions. Dining options were a bit hit or miss, but overall, a delightful experience.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while comfortable, had some maintenance issues and were plagued by mosquitos. On the bright side, they offered a nice view of the vineyard next door. The service was top-notch, especially when dealing with unexpected situations like noisy renovations and flooding. The location was convenient for exploring the surrounding wineries and Hunter Valley Gardens, but the presence of mosquitoes dampened the experience a bit. The dining options were varied and satisfying, with a standout breakfast deal at the local cafes. While the facilities were adequate, the mosquito intrusion affected the overall comfort level.
