So for a standard motel you have everything you need (and a great restaurant right next door), with free wifi, netflix, and everything you would want inside the room. The check in was easy, bed was comfy and the water was hot (mostly)

But unfortunately that's where the good stuff ends.

First off they told me I didnt need to book into the restaurant, so we missed out on a seat (which in hindsight, I should have asked if they were affiliated; they're not). Secondly, the room looks clean at first glance, but you beome aware fairly quickly that it's not. Not one door or wall has been wiped down, I found remnants of about four meals (withered vegetables on couch, a dried pea in the drawer next to the bible, noodles on the luggage bench etc) hair in the shower....you get the picture.

Also, when you shower it fluctuates (I'm not sure if it's random or if other people's rooms affect it), so one minute youre burning the next youre freezing.

I would stay here again if everything else was booked out but not for the price I paid, I would also bring disinfectant wipes and clean the place first.

The room was an absolute disgrace. Filthy toilet brush and holder. Pubic hair and scum in the shower. Putrid flooring and furniture. One glass for us to use. No cutlery or crockery. Moved rooms after complaining. The second room was just as disgusting. Email sent.. no response. I am demanding our money back. Do not and I repeat, do NOT book this despicable property.

The motel was central and the rooms were at the back of the property so not too much road noise. The beds were super comfy and so soft. We were in a family room and there was plenty of space. Didn’t see any staff when checking in our out. We dined at the onsite Japanese restaurant all you can eat and the found and service were amazing.

It has clearly been months since anyone scrubbed the shower. Felt like I should be wearing things. The slimy mould was not only visible but could be felt with my feet. And then there was the thick dust at the corners of the furniture.
Doesn’t make one confident about the sheets.

Awesome beds. Good size twin room. Reasonably priced. Not sure if there is breakfast available to the rooms or not but definitely not breakfast at the restauant, which is a shame. Found a can under the bed so cleaning could be a bit more thorough. Rooms can do with a lick of paint but nothing really bad.

Place was clean but dated, but beds were comfortable and room was a good sized.

However, there were people drinking outside their room next door. Constant swearing, loud music and yelling.

Can't really fault the staff for this, but it just doesn't add to family holiday experience.

My room was spacious, clean and quiet. While it was quite dated re furnishings, with some showing signs of wear, it was comfortable.
I was somewhat amazed, and irritated, that the coffee/tea cups were those small types of many decades ago that hold such a small amount of liquid, several cups are required to feel as though you have actually had a simple cup of tea or coffee. Please update these to a current sized mug 🙂

The room had not been cleaned.

- There was hair on the fridge, in the bed & on the floor.
- There was poo on the side of the toilet bowl & urine on the seat.
- Dead crickets on the floor, generations of spiderwebs & spiders in the window.
- Toothpaste on the vanity, mould on the door frames.
- The smell of cleaning chemicals was overpowering.

Cascades used to be one of the top motels in Dubbo, it's very rundown & unloved. We just needed somewhere to stay for a night, is it to much to ask to have a clean room? Couldn't wait to get out of there. Ripped off!.
