Station Hotel Motel Kurri

Had to park on street as carpark was full. Air-conditioner did not work and the "king" bed was 2 singles pushed together making it very uncomfortable.

The room was a good size but, the bathroom had not been cleaned, dirty towels hanging on wall, no toilet paper, shower dirty, air conditioner would not turn off, spider webs on windows, difficulty closing and locking windows. Staff member was unable to find batteries to replace air conditioner control. We were moved to another room. This room's door handle was broken, tricky to open. It was half the size of the one we had booked and paid for. The fridge was extremely loud resulting in the use of ear plugs for sleep, cockroaches. Unable to use shower as the door was jammed at the bottom. I contacted management via email, no response. Dont be fooled by photos, this motel is due for an urgent upgrade.

Location was good, walking distance to the RSL which was great because the bistro is closed. Stayed in the apartment, was good but just needs a bit of TLC & maintenance, size of the apartment was great, clean & good value. Just needs a good update/renovation & would be great.

After booking direct three days prior with a man who said he was in the bar cleaning cupboards etc. Asked if we had a preference of rooms, my reply was prefer not to have Room 6 because we stayed there three weeks prior for 4 nights and had to pull out the refrigerator each night because it was so noisy we couldn't sleep. We reported it at the time and they were apologetic. This time he said we could have room 8. On arrival after 6 hours of travelling we were informed without apology that they had no record of the booking and the motel was fully booked with a large group. We couldn't find accommodation in Kurri so we went to Cessnock and stayed in a motel. The room size was double that of the Station Hotel/Motel as was the ensuite. It had a comfortable lounge to sit on rather than having to teeter on the end of the bed plus a small table and chairs. Bonus ... the refrigerator was completely silent and the motel was quiet so we got a good night's sleep. For $15/night more it provided a silver lining after the debacle we left behind. In future we will be going for accommodation in Cessnock, goodbye Kurri Kurri Station Hotel/Motel.

Great choice for the budget traveller. We had a room with a comfy king bed, a single bed, lounge, bar fridge, microwave and toaster. The room was very clean and comfortable, no noise from the hotel. The staff/cleaners were all very friendly. We were sorry to find the hotel bistro is currently not running, as we had looked forward to it. Overall very happy.

The bathroom was flooded and the manager was the rudest person I have ever encountered. I paid for the convenience of an ensuite as I was travelling with my elderly mother was given a $30 refund for the inconvenience a lip full from the manager. If you are of certain generation where you need an ensuite best staying else where. No respect for elderly patrons.
