Outrageous pricing

The stay was fine and what you would expect, my only issue was the extreme rates being charged $420 per night as they knew the soccer comp was in town. We joined the team later so could t book far in advance and in terms of value for money it was very poor indeed. That rate is comparable to a 5star luxury hotel and as such it fell way short. Really taking advantage of parents.

We have stayed here before, they are good sized rooms however like a lot of motels the bedside lamps and lack of PowerPoints can be an issue.

Didn't like that all interaction was indirect i.e. that there was nobody in Reception, even during 'usual' checking times.

Would stay here again if parking was better

Stayed here for 1 night. Position of motel is good, with not much traffic noise. Parking on the other hand is a different story. We could not get parking outside our unit due to an inconsiderate driver taking up two parking spots. This made it extremely difficult to get a park when arriving back at motel around 9pm.

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.

Staff were wonderful. We had a late check in and early checkout and they were very accomodating. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Room amenities were good, milk was in the fridge, and shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the bathroom. I would stay here if travelling through Bathurst again :)
