Don’t waste your money staying here. Had other people’s pubes in the shower, was so noisy. Graffiti scraped into door frames, pen marks all over the mirror, place should be knocked down. You’d be better off grabbing a two man tent from Kmart and camping.

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

Filthy sheets
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.

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.
