Quite a walk into town centre. Room had a sewerage smell. Stairwell very dirty, could do with a pressure clean. Bed large and comfortable
Convenient location. Clean and tidy. Good value for money.

This motel is a little dated and in need of some work with fixtures and paint showing there age. However the room allocated to us was more a suite and had one queen bed in a separate room and another in the main area plus two singles. We ended up sleeping in the main area as the heating was not operating in the bedroom ( not ideal in Bathurst). The pillows and mattress we're ok without being great. A toaster, jug, microwave and utensils were provided though the cutlery still had food on some of them. On a more positive note the staff were very friendly and we walked just down the road to a nice pub for dinner, the area appears safe and there was ample parking.

Bathroom smelled really bad like a leaking septic pipe. Had to keep the door closed because the smell invaded the bedroom.
Shower was luke warm despite waiting 10 minutes for the hot water to become hot.
Something's not right at this place, no staff on premises and higher price point than better motels.
My parents stayed here while visiting us in Bathurst during winter. I had checked online that they listed electric blankets before I booked, but apparently the new owners got rid of them when they took over. The heater did not work the first night and the bathroom has a section of mesh above the window which is open to the elements. A bitterly cold environment for two elderly people. The room was not serviced on Sunday and when they called to ask for fresh towels, they were told it would be $50 to get them. Not happy! 😡😡😡
We was in room 4 we couldn’t even park outside our door we had to 4 spaces away from our door that’s the only bad thing everything else was great we will stay again if we have to
We stayed one night and it was by far the smoothest, hassle free stay we’ve ever had. They sent us an sms message on the day with instructions on how to access our room and have us wifi password. The place was dated but clean and had all you needed for a nights stay. Exiting the motel was also very easy. Thank you!
