After having driven over 900 kms to checkin at the Across Motel, my Amex was declined although I was told it’s accepted which annoyed me. On checking into the room, all I wanted was a shower, but at best it could only be described as a dribble and very unsatisfying. The traffic noise was atrocious and I barely slept. I checked out at 3am, couldn’t sleep, mainly because of the noise and security light that flooded the room. Very underwhelming experience.

Reception very unhelpful
For the price we paid over $600 for 3 nights breakfast was not included
We paid extra for breakfast one morning and it was very ordinary bread was stale and toaster was old
Hair all through the shower hot water took forever to come through the shower and sink.
No complimentries anywhere in the room
Bed was hard furniture old ,code wouldn't work for the laundry
Nothing like it looks on the website
Will not be staying here again nor recommending it to anyone

Look somewhere else

Was in Dubbo to attend a funeral. I would not recommend staying here there are much better choices in town for the dollars spent.

Room was old and run down, the sink in the vanity lifted up and was stained. The air conditioner was loud there were marks all over the walls and door. This was mean to be the deluxe twin, you walked into the room straight into a bed. Was dirty and yuk.

Continental breakfast was locked up so wasn't able to access that. Wouldn't stay here again.

Upon arrival, I was greeted warmly and welcomed to the hotel. An sms welcome message was sent to my phone with the Wifi password which was a nice touch. The room was tidy and clean. The bed was comfortable and it was a quiet area. The bathroom was a little squishy but was sufficient for the price I paid. It also looked like it had had a revamp recently to make it more modern. There were Venetian wooden shutters on the windows and we were worried they might let too much sunlight in but they were fine. The free breakfast was good- three types of bread for toast with a choice of marmalade, vegemite, honey or jam. There were also a few cereals to choose from - weetbix, cornflakes, cocoa pops, rice bubbles and oats. There was also tea, coffee and juice. Check out was easy - dropped a key into the box near reception. Later that day I also received another message from the hotel saying thank you for staying which was really nice. He also informed us that we had left a pillow behind so we were able to retrieve it before we drove home. Overall, for the price we paid, it was a pleasant stay and I would stay there again.

Stinky stay

Average room but on arrival I nearly cancelled my booking due to the stink from the bathroom drain in the room. I had to open the room up any way I could and use the bathroom fan to clear it (about an hour). If the bathroom window opened at all this could be easily avoided. Room is dated but also on the cheaper side of the spectrum so to be expected.

Unclean , old , in disrepair. Never again.

Mould in the shower. Unclean cups and could not even make a cup of tea. Cobwebs everywhere. Electric heater only provided as air con did not have a heat setting. Old furniture. Bed very uncomfortable. Broken window in the bathroom room which let cold air in all night. Complained nothing changed. Paid over $200 a night for this. Nothing like the pictures. Was worried we would catch some nasty disease as it was so unclean.

i would stay again

New owners are in the process of improving the premises. My room was recently renovated and well equipped as well as being spacious. Its easy to locate on the main highway south and one block off the East/West Newall Hwy,
Couple of cafes and other shops just around the cornor. Host was very helpful with directions and advice. He was happy to extend check out as I had need of the room to change for a mid day funeral.
It has a pool that would be great in the summertime.
Despite its location near the highways no room noise was experienced.
Breakfast was adequate but i felt the asking prices for basic add on's eg Baked Beans on toast was too expensive. In my way of thinking places are always better off selling 12 add ons @$5 then one at $12

Traffic

the hotel was great and the staff very welcoming, but the position of the hotel next to a busy highway and next to a round-a-bout with constant traffic of cars, buses and trucks breaking to stop at the round-a-bout into the CBD or speeding north onto the highway.

Also people smoking right outside our window was a real put off.

Very average motel

Luckily we only stayed for one night, as part of road trip. The man at the reception was friendly and we were able to check in at 11.30pm. That was about the only positive. The door to our room was so old and thin and the lock so poor that I felt unsafe. there was a large cockroach in our room. There were long hairs in the shower as though it had not been cleaned. The carpet was VERY stained. And the Doona cover didn’t look like it had been cleaned after the last guest. Would not recommended!

This motel is good value for money particularly taking into account the included Continental breakfast.
Bed was very comfortable, noisy old wall air cond but it performed well enough - not sure if it would have coped with a very cold night
Convenient windscreen washing bucket and squegee
It was a little disappointing to see a lack of simple housekeeping - front door filthy, old stickers on fridge etc - simple things that take away from having confidence - however an overall positive experience
