At John Hunter Motel Muswellbrook, travellers frequently note a quiet setting and spacious rooms, with friendly staff and easy parking, while recurring drawbacks include dated decor, maintenance issues, and occasionally inconsistent cleanliness and restaurant operations.

The pool area stands out as a popular feature. Some arrivals found reception unstaffed, using self check-in and occasionally missing basics like milk. Best for practical stopovers where value matters more than modern finishes or full-service operations.

The pool looked good, everything else looked like it hadn’t had money spent on it for more than 20 years. The Shower broke, faulty locks on doors, no exhaust fan in the bathroom, a dial radio from the 70’s, cabinetry past it’s serviceable lifespan, etc. The staff were trying their hardest, but it looked like they had no support or investment in training. I won’t be back.

Y'all need to clean the doors and the walls, the special the hallways and bathroom door, they were so dirty! Door to room had decent gaps around it so light came in all night. Cockroach in the dishes. Sorry - it wasn't a good stay, didn't match the reviews I read which influenced me to book this place.

Website states check-in times for each day of the week -(Sunday 8am to 6pm). Arrived 4pm on Sunday to discover office shut. Only a very vaguely worded notice stuck to wall saying that a 1300 number needed to be rung to obtain a code to open the lock box on the wall. Once we figured that out, rang the 1300 number and obtained the code number to open the box to retrieve our keys. Had to enter by a back door and up stairs to our room. No staff anywhere. Room not especially clean either. Certainly won't be staying there again.

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.

A reasonably comfortable stay. Excellent wifi and larger than average rooms. Like the desk/table, but chairs uncomfortable. Would like to see some plates, a bowls and cutlery for self-catering. Also, kettle has a dirty element in it. A lounge would be good. Bed big, but a little on the uncomfortable side.

The bed wasn't the most comfortable, but the linen and pillows were nice. The resturant had a limited menu, food was good, except, they made you pay after you ordered whoch was really strange.

Last time room service was amazing, hot and fast; this time it took the kitchen an hour to tell me they couldn't make my order so I had a burger instead (another 20mins) It was tasty but the fries on the side were cold and nasty. I did receive an apology and a couple of ciders.... nice. I will keep coming back but hope the kitchen has its act together next visit.
