"We stayed here when it was the Goldfields Motor Inn and found it pretty ordinary, to say the least. Under new management and with a new name, it’s a complete turnaround.
The rooms have been fully renovated, and ours was excellent. It still had that new-carpet smell, the bathroom was great, and there was a big wall-mounted TV and a very comfy bed. The staff were easy to reach, genuinely friendly and happy to help.
We’d happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Blayney."

"Whilst the accommodation was well priced, the room was filthy. Thick dust on all room surfaces and the shower was full of mould along with the shower curtain. On the plus side, the bed was clean and comfortable."

We stayed at Rydges Bathurst for only one night on the 21/08/15. My wife & I were travelling with 3 teenage boys for soccer the next day. Once the two ladies, at the front desk, understood this they upgraded us to a much larger room without hesitation. They also suggested a great family pub for dinner were the food was excellent & the boys appetites were satisfied. These ladies were so friendly & accommodating. They made us feel so welcomed that we enjoyed our experience & haven't stop telling...

The two bedroom unit is perfect for any family small or large. Perfectly clean, spacious and comfortable with attentive staff. Only complaint was a 9pm phone call to my mobile during the stay from staff regarding a bad review she thought i had posted ( I didn't) which perhaps could have waited till checkout to discuss.
Other than that it was a lovely stay. I have already recommended it to friends and family

Travelled to Bathurst for a concert which had been cancelled at the last minute but stayed anyway. The motel was within pleasant walking to the city centre and eateries. The staff were great.

Stayed 2 nights and found the hotel clean and staff extremely nice.
If I am in Bathurst for business I will definitely stay here.
Only downsight if you're a light sleeper a nearby train rumbling might wake you from time to time.

They went out of their way to accommodate my request to keep cold items in the fridge even after my checkout time. The communication is absolutely excellent, with hardly any wait time.
