Vine Valley Inn

Easy late check in and the room was very good.

Perfect overnight stay on my way north - very clean, comfortable and attractive room with new bathroom in an old pub in the centre of town. Lots of vintage charm. Easy checkin, great location near major shops, plenty of parking.

I chose this accommodation because all the reviews raved about it. How? I don't understand. It was filthy. The carpets looked like they had never been vacuumed, the frame for the shower door was caked with dirt that could have easily been wiped, the mirror was streaked, the walls and doors had other people's dirt that was easily visible (especially in sunlight). I tried to communicate with staff via hotels.com messaging but no answer. The only thing going for this place was the being close to wineries. The fridge wasn't working when we arrived and overnight it froze some of our food. Breakfast was a kitchen with eggs in the fridge, some fruit, bread and cereal. Clean up after yourself setup. You have to lug your bags up 4 flights of metal stairs at the back of the building. I couldn't imagine doing that if you have any disability or you are not fit. Never, ever, ever again and I hope I have helped others who see the 9 or 10 ratings and believe they are booking a great place. Don't make the same mistake i did.

Clean, quaint, and within easy walking distance of everything.

The vintage decor

This is a budget lodging and is quirky in a nice way. It has its own parking lot. Our only complaint was the street noise. Bring your earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

Very spacious room for a family of 4

Great place to stay, very quirky and different to usual hotels. Good location and central to shops and food places.

Shower screen dirty near base and fridge freezer completely solid ice.

Loved our stay. So quirky. Loved sitting in the lounge room and just enjoying being there playing Rummy-O and sipping wine.

Very pleasant accommodation. Colourful with a bohemian vibe. Nice lounge, dining and kitchen areas. Very nice lady at reception.

Location was central, close to shops and wineries. Beds were terrible, had to change rooms after the first night because it was so bad, next one wasn't much better. Overall, the place was ok, but sleeping there wasn't pleasant. The fridge hummed through the night, light from the hallway shone through the door and bed was painfully uncomfortable.

We enjoyed our stay, the room was clean and comfortable, convenient to what we wanted to do, parking was easy, the kitchen facilities were great, we will be back, and recommend to family and friends

Loved the mid century style of the furnishings in this place. Very cool and funky retro vibe. Felt a bit like living in the past which was a very nice experience. Great service from the person who checked me in. She was friendly and gave me good recommendations on place to grab some lunch. My only wish would be for a more comfortable bed and that is just a personal preference.

There was too many stairs. We could not stay even if we wanted to. Not suitable for disabilities. No mention of this.

Bed was comfy & clean. Bathroom also v clean. Carpet needs to be replaced. Couch needs cleaning

Access, if door is closed, is via a mobile phone number, and up 2/3 flights of stairs. Hotel has quirky decor/furnishings. Room was large with comfortable bed. Help yourself breakfast of cereals, toasts, eggs, juice. Cleanliness was average - and could do with a spring clean.

Quirky & quiet was close to everything and will stay again.

Was very comfortable and convenient, being in the centre of Cessnock. breakfast was added bonus, will have to return.

It was a unique type of property in a heritage building, with lots of very interested items
