I use to stay there years ago when I was a manager for FACS. It’s changed a lot since then, but the standard is the same. It’s the best motel in Dubbo.

The bed in my room was in poor condition. It was uncomfortable to sleep on as it had a definite dip in the middle of the mattress. Otherwise, it was what I expected for the price.
