The room was big and clean and the pool was also clean. I enjoyed a swim in the pool and just a minutes walk to the bowling club for dinner. Great place to stay and I will stay there again if passing through.

So clean, well furnished and quiet. The showers and bathrooms were excellent. Just what you want from a motel after a long drive to recover. Swimming pool was out of order but not a factor for us anyway.

Have stayed here before under the old owners. New owners need to improve on breakfast facilities as there were none to be offered and this was not made evident when the booking was made.....

The gentleman at reception was very pleasant and welcoming. When I opened my room, I could not help but be impressed by the absolute cleanliness of our room. Everything was sparkling, neat tidy and was ‘quality’. I’d stay here again on any future journey.

Okay for a one night stay motel

Friendly customer service experience. Motel was clean for first impressions. Some of the downsides - we did think it was a little dated and did experience baby cockroaches in the room, which made the stay disappointing. However, for a one night layover it did the job.

Don’t know how this motel is rated as 4*. Quite dated and on the far edge of town. Would stay at Saltbush Motel if I travelled to Hay again.
