10/10 Exceptional

Just what we needed after a 774 km ride, close to pub for a feed, beds were comfortable .
Gary, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property was reasonably priced and was in a convenient location close to shops and the park. A microwave was provided which was a nice surprise and let us heat up our own dinner.

The Motel was quite old which makes it difficult to look fresh. However it was clean and suited my needs for one night stay. Thank you.

I have stayed here before and for the price it was excellent value for a clean spacious room. While the Ensuite was narrow the shower was wonderfully hot!

Everything worked fine for us, at an excellent value for money. Walking Proximity to the bowling / sports club where we enjoyed an excellent dinner was also much appreciated.

The room and bathroom were small but adequate and quite clean. The furniture looked tired. Could do with a freshen up. The shower was good. There was a bit of traffic noise.

Property needs a better cleaner. Location fantastic but owners had no idea about where to eat etc. A bit disappointing there.

Murray, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Having an outside balcony to sit and enjoy the scenery plus relax. Balcony does need some attention though and some repairs to furniture
Ruth, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed in Room 8, nice and bright. Also enjoyed a dip in the pool. Noise from the Newell was blunted by closing the bathroom door. A nice park & lake across the road.
John, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Very minimal interaction on arrival and bathroom was not very clean. Glass sliding door to patio also dirty. Bed linen was clean, however bed was very uncomfortable. At least the coffee mugs were a decent size. The room was adequate for one night. And price was good.
Angie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Shower and bed good Three flights of stairs did not suit us with a full suitcase!! A few sheets of toilet paper for two people is not sufficient!!
Stephen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our overnight stay at Forbes was fine we expected a standard motel room & thats what we got. It was clean & the beds were comfortable. The heating worked fine however there was no heating in the bathroom the tiled floor was freezing & the bathroom was extremely cold forst thing in the morning👍
Giselle, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was clean, and beds firm. If you are just looking for place to sleep this is it. Comfort on a budget. The TV just displayed the local channels. The AC was not Reverse Cycle. But across the road was a park for the kids to play in. It was just a hop across the river to get into the town centre. There is a small pool on the grounds. But I slept very well. Refreshed and ready for a long day on a motorcycle.
James, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

I feel that the two nights were at the opposite end of the scale. The first nightwas appaling. Of site people partying with i think guests. Smoking in all the non smoking area. My room smelt like a smokers room. Children running up and down the balcony. Didnt stop until close to 10 pm. Loud intrusive conversations outside my door. Second night fine . The room was dirty and smelt. There was an air freshen can in room but empty. Check in person really good.

6/10 Good

Great location,

Bed very hard and uncomfortable. Room was not cleaned or even refreshed after first night. There was another floor above where a room was rented and could hear them walking on the floor ..... not soundproof or any treatment.
