Staff were great and friendly. The pool was small but welcome and refreshing after a long day at the nearby open plains zoo. Breakfast was a convenient add on option and great that the kids under a certain age could eat free with a paying adult.

I did not like anything about it. It was the most horrible experience I’ve ever had in my life. And I will be never going back there ever again in my life. I would like to see if I can get my money back. So

We cancelled all future bookings after staying. At first the staff was nice at check in. The pool area has no seats for adults to watch the kids swim. The blanket for one of the beds was dirty and stained and smelt disgusting. People were fighting in the hallway and when I went down to staff they advised there was nothing they could do. We had a long drive in front of us the next day was not impressed we have booked elsewhere for our return trip

Was not worth the $115 charged. The room, booked for 2 adults and 1 child, was so small there was barely leg room around the bed. There was no bench space in the bathroom everything had to go on the floor. The carpet was old and dirty. There was chewing gum stuck on the wall. The room was a huge disappointment and not as pictured in photos. We left and stayed at another motel.

This property has basic facilities e.g bed and bathroom but the overall cleanliness was disgistibg. Carpets are filthy and sticky, drains stink and the bathroom grout is dirty. Beds not particularly comfortable, need to be replaced. It’s clear the owners conduct little maintenance and only surface cleaning.

Rang property TWICE during their described business hours to confirm my booking and a 7pm arrival, while travelling. Received answering machine message advising someone would call me back TWICE, with no result! Complained to reception person when I arrived and got a "have been very busy" response (she was doing stuff around the pool when I drove in!) and no apology. Didn't really care at all! I have been a residential hotel manager for 15 years and told this to the receptionist. What is the point of having an answering machine if you don't check the messages and reply?! Again, "been very busy" and she didn't really care! NOT GOOD ENOUGH IBIS DUBBO!! :-(

Everything here is tired. But it would also be unfair to bag it further. Expect what you paid for in a budget hotel.
