Harrigan's Hunter Valley
Clean room, parking right outside. Staff excellent and even got early check in. Food okay, breakfast $25 and greasy. Chicken schnitzel dry and seemed precooked. Garlic cheesy pizza excellent.

Breakfast was lovely, room was practical and the staff were lovely- one person went above and beyond by driving my friends to their hotel when they couldn't get an Uber after the event we attended
