It’s called Travelers Rest and I didnt get a good rest. There were only 5 cars in the carpark, 3 of which I'm guessing were staff cars, one was my car and one was another guest. From the whole hotel they put me in a room opposite the other guests which sounded like a large, VERY loud family with a dog. I woke up everytime time I left and entered the room as the walls here are paper thin. I could hear their TV all night and i'm confused why the staff did not space out the guests correctly. Noise was a major issue from the other guests and the kitchen sounds.
Also no iron, I asked for an iron there was none provided.

An average motel to stay in Cessnock for a night or two. Do not expect much. If the intend is just to stay at night, then it should be ok.
Room was small, exhaust fan did not work.
We enjoyed our stay, found it clean, quiet and hany to anywhere we went.We will stay again next time we stay in the hunter Valley.Regards Peter

The accommodation was as we expected. You get what you pay for. The sheets on the bed were very clean but the bathroom the next morning hosted a small huntsman spider and a bug I did not recognise.

Good enough for the night. comfortable bed and high quality hotel linen snd towels. Only need to dust the furniture.
The owners/managers have done a lot of work on the entrance area - painting, nice and bright colours, pictures etc. plenty has been done to improve the rooms and the general look of the place
It was very quiet and comfortable, though there was no toaster in the room, or in the large room that had tables and chairs in it...not sure what it was for.
The room was filthy, carpets terrible smelly and old. Toilet seat was blistered and peeling. It's an old nursing home and has never been renovated. Absolutely disgusting, do not waste your money. It's the second worst motel that I have ever stayed in. Manager was not even at reception.
Mould in bathroom on shower curtain
Dirty window shelves … filthy

It was best value for money, easy check in & neat/tidy room Friendly staff, easy check in.There is no drinking water in the entire property. Have to get it from the bathroom.
The staff were nice enough, but gee…. We didn’t want to spend much time there. Tired common areas, group of residents sitting out the back drinking and smoking. Dark corridors to rooms. Room smelt stale. Windows didn’t open. Growth on wooden window frame. Cobwebs around bathroom window and ledge. Note said to you blue or black face washers provided so as not to stain with makeup etc, but none provided (we take our own). Thought we would save some money not staying in the Hunter as not too far to drive. Probably should have spent the extra $$
