Dubbo heat

1st room given smelt of sewerage, came back to the hotel 41degrees outside, called the after hours as it was 8pm, 2 older guys came they went in the room and said yes its sewerage. Then said to me what do you want me to do? I explained I couldn’t sleep or eat in there please move me to another room or I will get another hotel as I’m here for 2 nights. They found me another room for which I was grateful. The guy turned on the air conditioning and said it will take a while to cool down due to the heat outside, I replied not a problem. At midnight the room was still blowing really hot air. I sat most of the night outside on the chair as it was 29 degrees outside and my room was hotter than that. The next day I left at 5.30 am for work, came back around 2pm again it’s 40 degrees, went to reception and explained my room did not cool down last night, the guy said do you know how to use a air conditioner? He then sent the other guy to my room, he said the remote was stuck on timer he went away and came back 5 mins later. Said he fixed it, it was a bit cooler but not great. Left to go to Forbes returned still not that cold. Left before 6am, would not recommend

I have stayed at Matilda many times and it continues to be one of the best , def amongst the top ,motels in Dubbo. Always clean the only drawback is the small ensuite bathroom which is always a nuisance but easily overlooked with the cleanliness and fit out of the rest of the rooms. I also think the provision of cutlery and accessories is a small but important gesture for travelers.
