Never again.

I can only write about our two night's stay in Room 1. The office was unattended at 2.30 pm, rang the number on the office door and was told the key was in the door. Our room was next to a covered area where the other guests (workers) gathered for a drink and smoke at the end of their day. Also the laundry trolly's were stored permanently outside our door as the store room was next door. The room was tiny with an equally small shower that had a plastic curtain hanging from a very, very rusted curtain railing. There was a used shampoo bottle in the shower over looked by the cleaning staff. We also had to fix the toilet to stop the water that was continuously leaking from the cistern. If we hadn't prepaid for our two night's accommodation we would have left. The best thing to do with room 1 would be to pull out the bed and use it as a storeroom. This was our second stop in a three week drive around holiday and was far and away the worst accommodation we had in that time. Needless to say we would NEVER recommend the Ben Hall Motor inn. Forbes in itself is a lovely town just stay elsewere.

I didnt stay here. I booked 12 months in advance but because my booking fell during a music festival, the hotel would not honour my booking. I cant rate the hotel.

What I do find amusing is that most motels provide a kettle which is much appreciated but the access to the taps in the hand basin is always too short or too awkward to enable a person to fill the kettle. It’s a little slow filling the kettle by cup by cup. Perhaps a small jug might help😉

We booked a room with two beds and when we turned up we only had one, the place was full and the owner offered no alternatives so i tried sharing with my 16 yo son but he ended up sleeping on the floor.

The bed was comfty but the pillows were terrible, couldn't sleep because of them. They also charged our payment of the room twice, claiming the first charge didn't go through, though when i had checked, it had gone through and cleared.

Clean room. Bed was comfy with nice linen. Heater works a treat. No noise issues. Bathrooms could do with a refurb however was clean. Good location close to Forbes Inn for dinner and Sylo for morning coffee. I would suggest not showering at peak morning time in winter if you want a hot shower - hotel was full for big weekend of sport in town.
