Hotel Cessnock

Disappointing

Good

Exceptional

Cessnock Hotel itself and Staff...

Liked: Location for next day; the friendly, welcoming Staff; the evening Dinner; the Breakfast Room/Facilities/Cereals,Bedroom was clean; shared facilities were reasonably clean.
Disliked: The unexpected noise at night .....seemed to come from inconsiderate Guests on outside-my-room balcony,eg smoking, "loud" voices on outside balcony with doors open and smoke blown into inside corridor;a couple of senior women choosing to settle on the balcony at 5:45AM, smoking and moderately loud conversation.... I didn't get a (much needed) full night's sleep - harder to get to sleep, and was wakened early.Showering in bath could be a bit dangerous for senior folk - without a non slip mat.

Pleasant

Disliked: The bathrooms could do with a good scrubbing. One was filthy. The other had used soap in it

Handy location and cheap

Liked: Very handy for drinks & lunch
Disliked: No toilet paper in the bathroom . Couldn’t turn off air conditioner and the light didn’t work, we had to uses the light near the sink.

Very good overall but you...

Liked: Great location and very friendly staff. The Bar manager was excellent and great service.
Disliked: The light in Room 14 was not working and the bathrooms were not cleaned and the toilets filthy.

Very disappointing

Liked: Been to this hotel a few times and not been bothered by how run down it was, due to convenient location and friendliness
Disliked: What spoiled our experience this time, was the doff doff noise that commenced around 2:30-3:00 am in the morning [both nights], with young ones running up and down the hallway yelling, laughing and screaming - only to find out it was one of the bar staff and her friends using the place and the side balcony as an after hours party venue.
