Best Western Blackbutt Inn

The room was well appointed and comfortable, but that is where the good part finishes. Firstly upon arrival, there is no sign to indicate the Local Pub had upgraded its status to a Best Western Motel. Its on a busy corner, with very limited parking. No indication that the "reception" is actually in the newsagents next door. Then parking is at the rear, enter from a small street 50 metres away. From the rear, entry is via the hotel storage area, where there are two signs saying Reception, one of which leads you to a locked door. The "restaurant". What a joke, just a pub dining area, pretty average pub meal, but the "best part" is yet to come. Being a pub, there has to be the meat raffle, complete with excessively loud announcements of the winning numbers. Just how Best Western would allow their usually ... Indicitave of good accomadation ... Name to be associated with this type of place is a mystery to me. less

Stayed for a single night and was pleased with the room. It was clean and simple but yet modern. It served it purpose. Also not expensive and the breakfast was great. The pub downstairs was very handy as well to grab a beer or drink of your choice. Overall very nice stay. less

This is the place to stay if your either visiting or having a partner staying at John Hunter Hospital which is just up the road. Excellent clean rooms with good housekeeping services at a good price. Also has a not only good but well priced resteraunt and bar. Very handy to local shops where all your extras can be purchased. As far as staff goes all are extremely helpfull and efficient. less

Due to urgently needing to vacate a Air BNB due to mice, we (husband, daughter, son in law and 18 month old granddaughter) were suddenly trying to find accomodation at 8pm for 2 nights. My son in law found the Blackbutt Inn. I saw to say when we pulled up I was concerned if it would be ok for us, particularly travelling with a toddler, as it was over a sports bar. But we didn't need to worry, we were pleasantly surprised. The check in was quick, secure parking was easily accessabile out the back, our rooms on the second floor were modern and ultra clean, and no mice! We did have an air con problem, but staff were quick to attend to this. We found the staff here really friendly and helpful. We had breakfast downstairs each morning and this was wonderful. There is a climbing gym there which our granddaughter loved. Our rooms were 25 and 26, but due to the double glazing on the windows, we heard no noise from the bars or street. We would definitely recommend the Blackbutt Inn to stay at. Don't be deceived by the outside and the fact it is over a sports bar. It was great! less

Great Best Western, Clean tidy and great service. Food was ok, great value, drinks were icy cold and service was fantastic. On checkout it was speedy and efficient as well as the checkin. Great location less
