Gastro Pub Food! We had a really enjoyable dinner here -…read moreamazing burger and well cooked salmon fillet together with a very reasonably priced bottle of Hunter Valley wine.

This is a small hotel attached to a pub, like many others in the area…read more Room was tidy, neat and comfortable with a tv, fridge, iron and ironing board. Queen bed was very comfortable for both sitting and sleeping, we didn't get to that other option beds are used for... ;) Check in was a little confusing as there is no front desk for the hotel part so you actually check in,pay and get your room key at the bar in the pub's main area. Once again, it is part of a pub and they serve your standard pub/comfort food but bookings seem to be essential. we were there on a saturday night and and every table was booked. There is a tiny section available for walk-ins, but that was also full by 6pm Very quiet and great for the sunday morning sleep in we both needed after a 30th bday the night before. Would stay again.

I was sent to The Junction for a business trip. My employers had booked me a room for a 2 night…read morestay at The Junction Hotel. My first reaction after hearing the arrangement they had made was "You've got to be kidding me! They booked a room for me at the top of a pub?" (thinking that The Junction Hotel would be another one of those filthy pubs with a bunch of drunkards). Colleagues who stayed at this hotel tried hard to convince me that The Junction Hotel is no ordinary pub - but I still had to see it to believe it (you wouldn't blame me for being cynical too if you saw most of the pubs within the area I live in). But to my surprise...it was a nice hotel! 1. My hotel room was clean. 2. Modern. 3. Complete with necessities (like most commercial hotels): * Towels and hand towels * Shampoo - conditioner - body wash gel * Complimentary bottles of mineral water (and chocolates!) inside the refrigerator * Hair dryer * Iron and ironing board * Lots of toilet paper and tissues (no need for the housekeeper to stack them up on a daily basis * Coat hangers 4. There is a bar and a nice restaurant right downstairs: there's no need to get out of the building just to get food and drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic). Their menu was great and has quiet a variety of things to choose from. The meal prices (depending on what you order) can be a bit costly. But the quality of the food served at the hotel are well worth it. You just need to taste it and refer to the food presentation! 5. The restaurant and bar staff would be willing to bring food and drinks to your room (although you will have to order by the bar downstairs due to the fact that there are no telephones inside the rooms). But hey...it's a few walks down the stairs and you're there. Unless you are ridiculously lazy... 6. Less expensive than other hotels (I forgot the exact price but it was definitely less than $150 per night). 7. Oh! Did I mention how super comfortable the bed was? I definitely wouldn't bother paying to stay at the Crown Plaza Hotel (not far away) when I could get myself a hotel room that is equally decent - and that cost less. The guests - mostly locals - were also nice. I felt that I was able to just randomly start conversations with strangers.

It feels like a step back in time...If you are expecting a modern, fancy hotel, you will be sorry. If you are looking for a clean, comfortable place to get some rest, the Molly Morgan does just that, The check in procedure was very easy, and the staff very friendly. We were even given a little bottle of milk to go with the in room tea of coffee. Rooms were straight out of the 60's or 70's with some updates. Newer TV's and Heating/Air Con systems. Carpet was old and a little worn. One of the lights above the bed didn't work. The room and bathroom were clean and the mattress comfortable. The AC was a little noisy but kept the room cool. The rooms did have a microwave, coffee pot, toaster, and fridge. There is supposed to be a restaurant on site but the hours are very random, but there are plenty of places nearby to get something to eat. If the AC had been quieter and if all the lights had worked, I would have rated it a little higher. If you just need a place to get some rest, stop by the Molly Morgan.

He came out and guided us with a torch when we called him saying we were a bit lost at a crossroad. He showed us around our room personally to make sure we felt right at home before settling in for the night. The breakfast basket we received had varieties of cereal, some fruit, different bread options for toast as well as jams, peanut butter, coffee and tea. There was a small kitchenette where we were able to prepare and store food that we brought from home. Ray even placed several bottles of his own wine in the room for us to consume. At $20 a pop they were cheaper than most of the other vineyards we visited and the Shiraz was beautiful. Was bummed he didn't have any non-chardonnay whites though. The sofa bed was surprisingly comfortable. It didn't dip in the middle and you couldn't feel the springs- two things I normally hate about sofa beds. The bathroom was huge and the spa bath could have fit all 3 of us. Even the bathtub had a beautiful view overlooking the vineyards if you opened the blinds. Only downfall in the room? The three of us could not stop sneezing the entire time. It didn't seem dirty or dusty but something in there was making our noses crazy. The floors didn't seem SUPER clean when walking on them with bare feet but it wasn't bad enough to complain about. There was a pool too which was part of the appeal when deciding where to book for our girls weekend getaway. We never even saw it though. We were out on a wine tour all day Saturday and the weather turned a bit sour on Sunday so instead of sunbathing we stuck to our balcony, ate cheese, crackers, dips, drank three bottles of wine and contemplated the meaning of song lyrics on my Mumford and Sons Pandora station. When you have all that, who needs a pool anyway? Our holiday weekend rates ran us about $300 per night. Not the cheapest but not the most expensive either and for what we got (and our view) we felt it was more than fair. Highly recommend this place and would definitely visit again next time I'm in the Hunter.

I would probably say no frills, but then again sometimes no frills can be pretty good. This place was, well, bland.

As such I doubt I'd come back, though I must admit that the service was pretty good.
