Quality Inn Dubbo International

Another long day on the road of 6 hrs heading north, arrived at Taronga Western Plains Zoo at 11:30 am and finished there around 4pm, the heat was pretty tiring so found the first hotel near the zoo. Checked in and found the room. No undercover parking here. The door to the room had been freshly painted and was hard to open. The room was clean but tired, in need of modernisation, The bathroom renovated and clean but low water pressure. The bed was ok, nothing special for the money charged. I noted that there were holes in the curtains and broken hooks so couldn't close up properly. We were on a ground floor (thankfully) with a road outside & no fencing. The windows are dirty. Went for a swim, all average. Sorry to say that I wished that we went a little further into town there are much better options. However we did find a great Thai restaurant (Amazing Thai @ Dubbo) that made the night nice enough. Left Early.

Just an average highway side motel. Booked and paid for 2 x executive rooms with patio, but was downgraded to entry level room wuth door onto carpark and common walkway. No mention of this at check in, no apology, no refund of price difference. But the WORST part is the beds. Absolutely horrendous. Ive never had a sore back in my life until this morning. Thin mattress with a u shape sag, no support. No powerpoints accessible within 4mtrs of bed table. Bathroom has no exhaust fan and window is more than 2m up so you cannot reach to open it.

Our stay was two days on our ride back to Qld from Bright Vic. Which was part of a package deal organised by Group Link Travel. I wouldn’t call this quality! Bathrooms had water damage & mould on the roof. Some of our group had water leaking from under their sink and shower heads. Considering there’s signage to conserve water but they weren’t interested in fixing the problem just offered a towel to soak up the water! The window tracks were full of bugs, rooms smelt like cigarette smoke. There’s a guest laundry which is free with two washing machines and two dryers but only one dryer was working (We had terrible luck with guest laundry’s on this trip) No undercover parking but parking outside rooms. No smoking area as you can smoke outside your room. There’s a gym, tennis court. Beds & pillows were comfortable. Our room had a small tv (not a smart tv) while the other rooms had large smart tv’s. Our bar fridge was small, rooms were spacious as was the bathroom. There was no kitchen sink to fill the jug to make coffee you had to use the bathroom sink which the jug was too big to fill. I really don’t know why motels use large jugs when they don’t fit under the water spout to fill just use small ones.. We had daily breakfast which was delivered to your room every night. We only eat toast so when it came to spreading the toast we had no knife so my husband had to go to reception to get one. We also only had one small plate, one teaspoon, two bowls, two coffee cups and no big spoons if we wanted to eat cereal. So the room wasn’t fully stocked properly. The rooms aren’t sound proof you can hear people above you walking around. There is a pool but couldn’t swim in it as the water was murky. There’s a restaurant we had dinner at we had two tables booked because there was 19 of us. One person on our table didn’t receive her meal and I had to ask where it was they brought her Caesar salad with apple in it. That was not in the description for Caesar salad. The other table received their meals way after our meals we had eaten entrees, mains and dessert and left before they even received their entrees. One didn’t get his meal at all and they didn’t bother waiting for them to cook it so he missed out on his meal altogether. After a long 8hrs on the road on a bike all you look forward to is a hot shower a nice meal and comfortable bed some of us didn’t get that. I don’t think the motels restaurant can handle big groups very well. But what meals some of us got where delicious. The Golf Club had much better meals but a two hour wait to get them a few got their money back and left. Overall if your looking for someone to sleep for the night it’s fine. But my main concern would be the water leaks, water damage on the roof and mould in the bathrooms. If this was fixed and the bugs vacuumed from the window tracks and rooms cleaned properly after someone was smoking in it than this motel would be perfect for a few nights.
