    I loved the location of this motel! It’s super handy if you're heading to the nearby sports club or looking to grab a bite at the restaurants within walking distance. Plus, the pool was a lifesaver during that scorching 40+ degree heat. The spacious family room was a pleasant surprise too – perfect for relaxing after a day out!

    The experience wasn't all sunshine. The staff were pretty unfriendly, and the reception was often unattended, which felt a bit neglected. The bathroom was cramped, and hot water seemed to vanish by evening. Oh, and that swampy smell from the lake? Not great. it’s a mixed bag for me.

    I stayed one night while traveling to attend a wedding, and I was pleasantly surprised by the welcoming atmosphere. The room was impeccably clean and featured fresh linen, and I appreciated the comfortable bed. The lovely pool area and proximity to a beautiful park and lake made my visit even more enjoyable. I also received excellent service from a friendly host who provided great dinner recommendations and directions to the town.

    I recommend this hotel.

    During my recent stay for a weekend getaway, I was impressed by the comfortable room that provided a welcoming atmosphere. The bathroom was clean and well-equipped, complete with adequate towel rails which are often overlooked in many motels. The continental breakfast was another highlight, featuring plentiful supplies and more than enough butter for toast. the location was perfect for a leisurely walk to the main street for dinner, and surprisingly, the noise levels were minimal for such a central spot.

    Couldn't recommend more this hotel.

    Everything was good, nice hotel, the location was fantastic close enough to beautiful Forbes, passing trucks for much of the night, and the town centre. The staff was very welcoming, outstandingly accommodating. They gave me beautiful and terrific room with all required facilities and a big fridge, for example.

    My family and I, including our two four-year-old daughters, had a mixed experience at Lake Forbes Motel. While the cleanliness and proximity to beautiful landmarks like the Gum Swamp and Bird Hide enhanced our stay, the loud highway noise and uncomfortable shower situation were disappointing. The outdoor pool was great for the kids, but the overall service left much to be desired.

    The host was friendly and went above and beyond to ensure I felt welcome. The room was spotless, with fresh linens and a comfy bed that made for a restful night. I appreciated the lovely pool area, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Its location right across from the picturesque Lyons Park and lake added to the charm, and surprisingly, I didn't notice any traffic noise from the nearby highway.

    Nothing, all great! 😊.

    The service here was top-notch, from the friendly phone chat before we arrived to the super attentive room staff; it made our stay feel really special. The outdoor swimming pool was perfect for cooling off, and the location across from the lake was just gorgeous. The only small thing was the bed could've been a bit comfier, but honestly, everything else made up for it! 🌊.
