The staff are very kind! Laundry facilities are handy and it's in an ideal location to everything you could possibly need like fuel,take away and pubs for meals! Literally all within walking distance from the motel. The lake is right behind you and is wonderful if you need to walk your dog! It's dog friendly and accepting of all sizes but make sure you ring up about a dog friendly room first!

The water in the shower/bath comes out like a turbo jet. You can't complain about water pressure but I struggled to find a nice medium and unfortunately the window above the bath was leaking water pretty bad from the rain we had (I forgot to tell them) but overall,great facilities and a wonderful atmosphere!

We were staying for the Parkes Elvis festival and this location was great not being too far a drive away less than 30mins. The 2bdr apartment was perfect for our family and to have extra space for our gear and food in the kitchen area. The full size fridge was fantastic!

The griller didn’t work on the stove but that was all. Once I think they update the kitchen area with that will be even better. Maybe the pool could have done with a clean but then again it was a very busy week so a lot of people would have been in it, we still enjoyed it.

Value for money was great. Slept a family of 4 for under $200/night - fantastic. Right across the road from the club for great meals. Staff were always friendly, efficient and helpful. Netflix capable large TV Excellent heater/air con unit

Few small things but that's being picky. Not a huge deal but pool gate was locked, possibly closed for the cold season? (Our crazy child was still keen for a swim 😂). May have simply had to ask at reception to be honest as we didn't enquire, but didn't see that sign posted. Room is a little aged which is completely fine, but a deep clean/revamp of a few small things could be done to up it's initial impression (toilet brush due for the bin, stained chair seat coverings).

I had a fantastic experience at this hotel. The room was spotless, the bed was comfortable, and being located next to Club Forbes added to the overall experience with its fantastic entertainment and dining options. The hotel's location near the city and lake made it easy to explore the area. Staffs were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

None. It was a great stay

A Gem I'd recommend to anyone wanting up to date facilities and rooms comfort , with old fashioned go the extra mile hospitality from staff and owners who always great you with a smile and try to accommodate anything extra you want.

Very clean. Good TV. Good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Very comfortable bed and crisp sheets. Coffee, microwave etc. Quiet even though fully booked. Easy check in and key drop check out. Great location for our needs. Staff friendly. Really liked Forbes.

Room service waking me early on Sunday morning to see if I was still there even though the DND sign was out. Disappointed not to get a rare lie in.

Easy parking right outside. Warm comfortable room, clean and neat with lots of extras such as cutlery and crockery. Great bed and quiet comfortable night’s sleep. Toiletries were complimentary. Very pleasant welcome when we arrived.

For the price, nothing really. This is obviously an older build but it had all the facilities we needed and there is something dependable about these traditional motels. 🙂

The staff are lovely and very willing to help you. The motel rooms have been updated which makes them feel fresh. The rooms are well appointed. The motel is very handy to the town centre and beautiful lake walks. The Plainsman will always be the place I will choose in Forbes.

Central. Quiet. Perfect overnight stay on the way through. Was a cute place. It was like in a horse shoe with a pool in the middle which I thought was cute. Although on the main road, you do not get traffic noise. The staff were lovely. Beds very comfy

There was nothing a didn't like. It was a basic motel but was clean and had everything you needed.

clean and tidy , short walk to some great pubs for dinner, lots of car space and staff were friendly

Seemed to have some workmen staying that took over the pool area, they were nice enough but as a solo woman it was a bit intimidating with the music and gang of them . They did stop their music and there was no night noise.
