Lovely personal at the Ben Chifley. Place is quite ok for a night or two. Definitely needs a facelift, especially in the bathrooms. Some USB ports would be nice! Generally a good stay for us. Very good friendly service and it was clean. Comfy bed too. We would stay again.

Pros: - When a 2 inch arc of electricity erupted from a powerpoint on our first night, as we plugged in the room heater because the air con for whatever reason was only outputting cold air (why it wasnt set to heat in winter, and checked, was anyones guess, we couldnt have been the forts people there this winter...), and made me get instantly straight with Jesus because i thought i was going to die, while we had no electricity for about 2 hours and went to bed in misery and freezing, at least a text at 10:30 at night DID get a reply and a fix hours later. Genuinely appreciated someone attending to the lack of electricity at midnight, especially as my partner had a job interview the next morning in Dubbo and needed to iron her dress to be ready to go at the crack of dawn the next morning. - Cant argue the room layout of the triple room, and the general presentation of the room - Great shower water pressure and temperature Cons: - Felt i was going to die from faulty powerpoint about 15 minutes after getting there, not a great start :) - Room not serviced properly: when we left the please tidy my room sign the next morning and headed for Dubbo. Beds were (re)made and towels changed, but the dishes we rinsed and left to obviously be changed were still there up;on our return at 8:15PM that nigth, after a long day, and just wanting to crash and have a relaxing night (this is why you book a motel/hotel). Bins also untouched. - TV where even changing volume was a task.......

This motel is a little dated and in need of some work with fixtures and paint showing there age. However the room allocated to us was more a suite and had one queen bed in a separate room and another in the main area plus two singles. We ended up sleeping in the main area as the heating was not operating in the bedroom ( not ideal in Bathurst). The pillows and mattress we're ok without being great. A toaster, jug, microwave and utensils were provided though the cutlery still had food on some of them. On a more positive note the staff were very friendly and we walked just down the road to a nice pub for dinner, the area appears safe and there was ample parking.

Bathroom smelled really bad like a leaking septic pipe. Had to keep the door closed because the smell invaded the bedroom. Shower was luke warm despite waiting 10 minutes for the hot water to become hot. Something's not right at this place, no staff on premises and higher price point than better motels.

My parents stayed here while visiting us in Bathurst during winter. I had checked online that they listed electric blankets before I booked, but apparently the new owners got rid of them when they took over. The heater did not work the first night and the bathroom has a section of mesh above the window which is open to the elements. A bitterly cold environment for two elderly people. The room was not serviced on Sunday and when they called to ask for fresh towels, they were told it would be $50 to get them. Not happy! 😡😡😡
