Location being able to walk along lake
1.0 / 5.0
The room was filthy. Do not think it had been cleaned. Toilet had poo in it and shower walls had black hair all over it. I am a redhead so did not come from me. Smell was unbelievable. Would never stay there again or recommend to anyone
2.0 / 5.0
The bathroom was rather dangerous for older people.To get to the toilet was not easy and you risk hitting your head on the vanity unit as you try to sit. The corner of the shower base was not really good either. The door to the unit didn't shut properly (you really had to slam it which is not good particularly at night)

Toilet seat was cracked !! and loose. Poor maintenance....

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.
2.0 / 5.0
Bathroom floor has never been swept, paint peeling off bathroom roof, toilet seat broken and nearly unusable, asked them to fix/replace and did nothing but tighten a screw. Seat had a 8 inch crack in it and had a piece broken off the edge. Only redeeming factor was that it was close to town, would not recommend

Dirty sheets on bed I
went and got the manager and said I want clean sheets on the bed NOW!or another room.
She said you have been here 5/6 hrs it's not possible they were changed!
I said they were not and we checked in and went into town then out for tea! I just pulled the covers back ready to get in.
I was fuming.
No apologies nothing. They changed the bed and left.
Husband and wife.

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!!

Lake Forbes Motel serves a purpose. Stop and go... the property is old and does need maintenance, but it's fine for an overnight stay. It's been 3 years since we last stayed here and it's definitely worse for wear!

Sorry, I give it to you 1 but its actually -0. Awful experience and bonus of this tory is they stole my perfume. I arrived on Monday at 3 pm. From 8 am until 5 pm next day I was at work and they clean my room (I don't know what for because i was in the room for less than a day). When I found someone stole the perfume owner said just check your bags its maybe there. After that situation they stop cleaning my room for another 3 days. They don't have gel shower in the rooms only hair condition, no blanket, flat, thing pillows, noisy, messy, super old. Highly, super highly I'm NOT RECOMMED YOU this place. I'm ok with old style or no gel shower or pillows but when people steal something its huge concern for me. Very sad.

My room no was 20 at the end corner/
1. No staff in reception to check in, u need to figure out how to call staff while u already in reception.
2. They have free wifi, only to show. Never works. I need to upload data from field and need to have stable connection for Remote Desktop connection, really regret booking this hotel. I explained my problem to reception guy but no solution and no apology.
3. Everything can be heard what’s going on next room and room upstairs.
4. Very big noises of vehicles, u can’t sleep well if u r not drunk.
5. Not enough onsite parking.
6. Room musty smell.
6. Leaking taps.

Rating was very misleading. I don’t know how people rated it 10/10 unless they were false ratings. Very basic motel. More like a backpackers.

Air conditioner would not heat, ambient temperature outside that evening was 4 deg. Complained in the morning and requested refund - not given. Wouldnt put my cat in this place.
4.0 / 5.0
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.

The room had a bad smell and the taps in the shower and sink ran all night. Also the people upstairs were very loud. Good location but not great to stay.
1.0 / 5.0
Absolutely terrible. Would not recommend. Lady at the front counter rang me at 4:30 while I was still driving and threatened to cancel our booking. When we arrived she was rude to us.
The room was terrible and not very clean. The aircon was disgusting and my partner and I were both sneezing the whole night and the rest of the next day. The room did not look like the photos.
This was a very negative experience and I tried to get a refund however I wasn’t successful

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👍
4.0 / 5.0
Called on Wednesday to pay prior and was told it was done from a company card …Get there Saturday and was charged on the spot from a personal card which left me out of pocket for the weekend and until I could chase up …. They told me that I should chase up the booking company or claim it back however I was still out of pocket til that could be done ..
Then after more pressing to say you said it was sorted three days prior then was told ‘not understanding what you are saying … not sure as we cannot do that’. Totally poor customer service and don’t think I will return there

Really basic facilities, uninterested check in staff
2.0 / 5.0
It was old and out of date. The air on/ heater was 40 years old and did not hear the room. It was 4 degrees overnight and we froze. The bathroom sink was stained and gave the impression that it was dirty. There was only a double bed which was uncomfortable and hard. Overall not impressed wouldn’t stay there again.
2.0 / 5.0
The room was small and noisy with an old style air con that had seen better days. The bathroom was dated and small. Seven steps up from ground with no lighting. Old furnishing both in the rooms and lying around outside. The beef was an old inner Spring that was not comfortable. Very difficulty to move around in the small bathroom. Not disability friendly at all.

From the moment we arrived Colin was very accommodating and friendly. We had 2 vehicles with trailers and Colin went out of his way to make sure we didn't have to park on the street even though we were happy too. The room was clean and tidy. Very professional place and we would stay again for sure.
