- stolz (9/5): -

- Sarah (7/5): -
- Kalaveti (10/5): -
- Jenny (7/5): -
- Joanne (8/5): Great overnight stopover - Very convenient for a one night stay as you are passing through. Toaster in room so all that was needed to make your own breakfast. Key left out for you so no time restraints . Nice hot shower. Full size fridge and icepack were frozen the next morning. Only one kitchen style chair but with the double and single bed there was no space for a lounge chair . Narrow car spaces so hard to unpack from side doors.
- les (8/5): ok - rooms too light at night truck traffic noise woke me up continually.
- Ross (8/5): -
- Ros (10/5): The motel was well worth the stay and I suggested to friends that this was an excellent place. - The room was spotlessly clean and the place was very quiet. I had no complaints.
- Aisyah (9/5): Good - ✅ All good
- Carmen (10/5): - Clean and friendly, close to everything
- Mark (6/5): Great staff - Location and price A bit tired and noisy. Tight parking

- Kim (9/5): -
- Kara (7/5): -
- John (7/5): - Did what we wanted
- Katelin (8/5): Excellent value, needs a good spring clean but overall a great place to stay - Beds were conformable, lots of shower gel, toilet paper, soap, biscuits, coffee tea and milk.
Plenty of towels. The bedding was very nice and clean. Excellent value for money. There were no instructions on how to turn on the air con we had to ask and the screen door was very hard to open.
There were a lot of dirty marks on the walls. It really needs a big spring clean, I'm assuming the unit used to be the owners at some stage. A lot of the utensils were mis matched. No dishwashing detergent.
- Michael (7/5): -
- Veronica (8/5): - Friendly staff
- Jessica (8/5): -
- Marshall (8/5): -
- Gerald (2/5): Never again - Nothing. Two lights didn't work ,toilet cistern button was missing and the whole room was rundown and in need of maintenance As above. This is a poor example of a 4 star motrl
- Ann (6/5): - I didn't like much at all Just about everything.
- Brigitta (7/5): -
- Daniel (10/5): Lived it! - Very clean and a great location! Nothing
- Ramirez (9/5): -
- Geraldine (7/5): Family get together in Forbes - The location was central to CBD. Would be perfect for family with 4 kids with two sharing the queen. There was 2 singles and a queen bed in one room then the bathroom then a queen in another room. It had mugs, cups, plates, bowls, cutlery etc. A medium size fridge with a great freezer. A microwave, kettle and toaster. We didnt use any of these, except fridge, and Im not sure how you would wash them up except in the small bathroom sink.
Bed comfort was good enough.
Parking was easy outside room.
There was 3 steps to get luggage to room from carpark then another step up to room door. Shower was over the bath, it worked well but long shower curtain got a bit soggy. There was a bit of a smell in the room but solved by opening windows to outside. Split system in each room. The seperate room with queen bed was wayyyy too light making it hard to sleep as there was lights on the outside wall of the motel all night
Staff happily gave us 5 fresh towels on day 2. Thank you
- Rachel (8/5): Clean, comfortable and value for money, easy walk to shops and cafes. - Clean, beds very comfortable, great location. Nothing really.
- Roger (9/5): Great Good parking ., close to town responsive staff. Had basics for tea and coffee, - Location was short walk to town center also just across the road was a beautiful walk around Lake Forbes.
- Fionna (10/5): Good value for the price - Basic accommodation but room was very clean and had everything we needed.
- Sue (7/5): -
- Sarah (9/5): -
- Kerrie (8/5): -
- Sandra (7/5): OK for an overnighter - Location Not the best communication
- Wendy (9/5): -
- Meredith (6/5): - Off the main road. The room although old (original 50's tiles) was clean, good hot water and shower. Bed comfy. Old building with very tight parking. Wasnt able to access both sides of car as the parking spaces so small. The smoking area was close by, patrons breached the 9 oclock quiet time.
- Meredith (10/5): - Pleasant manager, good location, quiet and close to main street. Clean
- margaret (6/5): -
- Samantha (8/5): -
- Cheryle Rayson (9/5): - After hours access & parking.
- Stacey (9/5): - Even though hotel is a little old, it was very clean and tidy. The pressure is shower isnt the best, unfortunatley.
Other then shower pressure, the hotel is good value for money. The shower pressure isnt very good.
- Chris (8/5): - Clean, handy to everything
- Roy (7/5): -
- CLAY (10/5): - Staff.
- Julie (10/5): -

- Glen (9/5): Great - Everything Nothing
- Jonathan (10/5): - Great experience
- Maree (Dawn) (10/5): - Clean & comfortable. No noise.
- Kaye (8/5): Good value for the price. Well equipped clean room. - Location. Easy to find. Room was facing street and there was a lot of noise and lights outside our windows were on all night shining into our room. Hard to sleep.
- Ashlyn (10/5): Will come back - Very clean, air con on when I arrived, easy check in easy check out Non smoker and was in the room right outside the smoking area otherwise no complaints
- Stephen (5/5): - good handy location the picture does not even slightly match the room. Looks like a 1970's room.
- Holly (10/5): -
- Ida (5/5): -
- Javam (7/5): Shower Heads - This motel had always been my first choice. One thing, in particular, I always liked the water pressure in the shower. Water heats up instantly and a lot of pressure or big volume in shower heads. Unfortunately the room 8 had few issues: low pressure, took a while to warm up, too close to the side wall and water temperature was changing constantly. I had to stick to the side wall so I can get water running on me. I would say water rate was 20 Litres a minute, however, this time was about 2-3 Litres a minute. Sydney has about 9 Litres a minute.
- Mandy (1/5): -
- Merran (8/5): - Hassle free. Key was left for us
Good location, close to river
Had everything we needed for an overnight stay All good
- Paul (7/5): Short but satisfactory - Price and location None
- Marc (9/5): -
- Shuo (9/5): Good resting place - Has most things I needed, good for them to provide plates and bowls. Strong aircon. 3 of the bedside lamp wasn't functional. Extra cloth hanger would be great.
- Brigitta (8/5): Has everything you need for a short stay. Clean tidy and close to the lake for a walk and town for food. - Clean, tidy and convenient Needs better pillows too thin. But should probably bring my own
- Keith (8/5): - Very clean and well-kept.
Dining available within 5 minutes walk.
Lake Forbes only a 5 minute walk away. Nil
