The only criticism is that the pillows were very hard - I ended up stuffing a pillowcase with a blanket! Otherwise, all good.

A lovely clean place to stay. Spacious well appointed rooms. The only disappointment was we were hoping to get room service for dinner and breakfast as we’d been travelling and didn’t want to venture out. However we were advised that the kitchen wouldn’t be open until the following week.

Home made desserts were very nice. Unfortunately restaurant was only take away and basic menu. Staff were lovely. No cooked breakfast available but had cereal packs. Secure parking was good. Woolies and shopping centre across the road which was handy. We had a good breakfast in the cafe in the centre. Room was very clean but property in need of repairs.

Close to Maitland fot restaurants and cafes and not too far to the Hunter Valley wineries. Room was close to the highway, lots of traffic noise. Misleading description of garden & pool view, view was car park at front door of room..
