Stayed for one night on account of all the accommodation in the Hunter Valley being booked out, no doubt due to the Steely Dan concert in one of the vineyards. On such occasions, the motels in Cessnock do a roaring trade, it seems, so command a price which is somewhat in excess of what you get for your money. Having said that, the staff were friendly, the accommodation was spacious and clean, and what more do you expect from a basic 3-star motel? We availed ourselves of the breakfast buffet at the motel, but regretted it. We probably should have walked down the street to one of the local cafes, or better still, drive back to the Hunter Valley where one is spoiled for choice.

I stayed here for business purposes and was looking to be late checking in (9pm).

Before I had arrived I called and let reception know I was running behind time, and they wished me a safe drive as I made my way to the Cumberland.

When I arrived at 9:15pm, they had reopened the office and were more than helpful in regards to checking in and finalising my bill for an early checkout.

The staff were kind and courteous, the amenities were great, however there was a crack in the wall in the bathroom, and a few noticable touched up bits of paint on the wall.

Apart from this, the room was large, cosy, and I'd be more than happy to stay there again.

Stayed at the Comfort Inn at short notice due to disrupted holiday plans.

We arrived late in the day and the whole town was shut!

The accommodation is basic but sound. Whilst there was air conditioning in the room, it was old and pretty ineffective during quite a hot spell.

We ate at the hotel and the food was surprisingly good.

The hosts were also very helpful in assisting a replan of our holiday itinerary.

Not an offensive hotel, but also not luxurious.
