Hunter Gateway Motel
The only thing i would have liked is cleaner carpet. Rest was fine and great location, surprisingly quiet, car parking was freat with slightly wider bays allowing easier access to vehicles. Only 3 minutes to shops. Great and thanks

Unit was comfortable, quiet and pristine but stainless steel bin in bathroom had rusty lid which rather detracts from the overall impression. Ironing board cover thin and stained and needs replacing
