Reviews for Homestead Motel

Review 1:Rooms were large and airy. Cleanliness was great. Excellent location. Quiet. The food at the Hotel restaurant was well presented and tasty. Overall very pleased with the venue. Thanks.

Review 2:Family 2 bedroom unit (sleeps 6) was inadequately stocked, but motel management was quick to fix the problem

Review 3:Great sized pool but surrounding landscaping needs better maintenance, and better seating (for supervising parents or relaxing after a long drive). Great central location. Very friendly staff and very clean rooms

Review 4:Staff a little unsure of what they were doing

Review 5:The bathrooms are newly renovated so beautiful. Unit was very clean and had a sink in the actual unit which we loved.

Review 6:Although the property looks a little tired from the road, our rooms were very comfortable, clean and well appointed. The sink in the kitchenette was unexpected and welcome. Very satisfied.

Review 7:As in all motels I have been in over the last few years they only have acrylic blankets. They are too hot and I always take my own cotton blanket with me.

Review 8:The motel was close to where I wanted to go. The room was spacious and inexpensive.

Review 9:The quote I received was different to the actual cost. Quote was for $140 but the actual cost was $190. I understand a cost isn't an actual cost, however that's a large jump in numbers.

Review 10:The pool and the size of the appartment

Review 11:Need to clean the fans in the bathroom If reception says it opens at 7 it should. It wasn't open at 7:30 when I wanted to check out.

Review 12:Location Free wifi except it was very slow.

Review 13:Whilst rooms were non smoking people were smoking in very close proximity to rooms which you could smell. Traffic was noisy at night and bathrooms very small

Review 14:Location. Not much else

Review 15:Room was only surface clean; lots of things needed fixing. Furniture was shabby & needed a good scrub. Pillows were disgustingly stained - we went and bought our own.

Review 16:Location was great; renovated bathroom was modern & clean;lovely new white towels.

Review 17:There wasn't much cutlery or crockery. It didn't matter to us as we had our own with us but others may be affected. There was also no dishwashing implements (sponge etc.). Again we had our own. There is a bit of noise from surrounding rooms. We found the wi fi dropped out a bit.

Review 18:The room was great with a very comfortable bed - great blanket!

Review 19:Bed and pillows were hard, not enough cutlery, crockery , sugar, coffee & milk. People on second floor very noisey at 4 in the morning. Heating & electric blankets faulty.

Review 20:No Austar as advertised, FREE WIFI didnt work, mattress was very old and hard. Breakfast was yuck . Overall wont be recommending this motel at all

Review 21:Liked the service

Review 22:no hot water in the unit, cold showers in morning, staff seem not to care. we were not the only unit with no hot water. no offer of discount. would never recommend

Review 23:free wifi, good size unit, good location

Review 24:*The electric blanket only worked on one side or the bed ( the one closest to the wall ). *On the side of the electric blanket that didn't work the cord had been taped up at the plug.

Review 25:The comfortable chair in the room and the heated air conditioning.

Review 26:Great size for family of 6 which can be hard to find. Everything we needed for our weekend away at Dubbo. Heaters in bedrooms too and electric blankets. Owner was obliging with extra bedding requests too.

Review 27:The inability of the staff to assist with anything from activating the WiFi (whole modem had to be reset and still didn't work) to operation of the TV remote control.

Review 28:The beds were comfortable and the room facilities OK.

Review 29:The drain in room 3 in the bathroom needs to be cleaned really bad smell from it. Two inch space at front door needs to be brought down as the cold gets right through that gap and causes a draft to come through the floor. The reverse cycle air system cuts out every hour. The problem with the gap under the entrance door and the problem with the a/c made the room very cold. The blankets are not thick enough on the bed to keep warm.

Review 30:It was close to town and close to food. Was clean.

Review 31:was disapointed in the room toilet leaked in room 106 was dust above the door. only 1 saucer and plate in cupboard electric blanket only worked 1 side of the double bed. 107 chair at table was broken dust above door

Review 32:well situated

Review 33:The accommodation is very low standard. Rate charged isn't worth it. Advertised wi fi never worked, beds rock hard, shower temperamental.

Review 34:W liked the bakery next door

Review 35:shower, the water pressure was all over the place....hot then cold then hot etc The covered walkway between the 2 buildings is a parking problem with some rooms

Review 36:Wifi signal was very weak, but it did the job. Some plates and bowls in the kitchenette would have been good.

Review 37:Spacious room, comfy bed, big TV. Nice bathroom. Kettle and a microwave. What more do you need?

Review 38:The address given was 101 cobra St,my GPS took me to that address,but it was not the Homestead Motel.I entered the coordinates,and it was in an entirely part of the city,and it was the correct motel,nowhere near Cobra St.It was late,I was tired I did not take it up with reception when I arrived,and left early in the morning,so it remains a mystery ,why the address was so wrong

Review 39:clean and tidy,quiet considering the busy road at the front of the property

Review 40:Although the WiFi was free, it dropped out twice. They fixed the first one but the second was after the office closed.

Review 41:Located next door to a superb bakery that opened early for breakfast. Staff were helpful and parking was outside the door. Queen bed in a "single" room - great.

Review 42:Excellent service. Even after hours, myself and my wife arrived quite late to still be greeted by friendly staff who showed us to our room. Much appreciated

Review 43:The free Wifi was unusable. It would connect but could not obtain an IP address so actually using it was not possible. This was a key reason to select this motel. There was a small amount of noise but not bad.

Review 44:It was clean and comfortable. There is a bakery/cafe next door with lots of goodies. They do a breakfast.

Review 45:Couldn't access wifi for quite a while. Manager said it was because too many guests trying to use wifi at the same time.

Review 46:Dubbo is a nice place, quite a bit to see and do. Homestead is about average for what is on offer. Comfy bed.

Review 47:Bit tired and facilities getting older. Rooms were not sound proof and could hear people above.

Review 48:Good location with an east walk to town and places to eat.

Review 49:It looks run-down and in need of TLC, particularly front office. However, the room was clean, the beds very comfortable and the bathroom spotless. A little far out of the centre of town, but a lot of dining options in walking distance (particularly in adjoining hotels and motels). Road noise was negligible at night.

Review 50:Not much staff communication, broken towel rail, air conditioning didn't seem to have accurate temp, front door didn't stay locked and we were also locked out on returning one afternoon (room card key did not work)

Review 51:Close to everything, price of accom

Review 52:There was nothing I didn't like.

Review 53:It suited our needs perfectly. We were there for a rugby league trial. We traveled a long way, was very easy to find. 5 minutes from where my son played and 5 minutes to the main street. Kids enjoyed a swim in the pool and the bakery next door was very convenient.

Review 54:Let me change my overnight stay to the following day with 24 hours notice, great location, good services, restaurant next door at No. 95 is by far the best in Dubbo.

Review 55:Room key did not work the first time Had to ask for toilet paper Wifi did not work Pool not heated

Review 56:Room was presented well beds were comfy enough Location

Review 57:I have no complaints!

Review 58:I've stayed here several times as my rest stop between days of travel. I want no gratuitous luxuries; I want clean and friendly; I want to be close enough to bus and train stations that I can walk there with luggage, but not so close that trains will disturb my sleep.

Review 59:Could hear other visitors when we were trying to sleep.

Review 60:Staff willing helped us out when we were unprepared. We we towing a trailer and stuff were very friendly, allowing us to park our trailer In a safe and secure place.

Review 61:The couch (a fold out bed) was passed its use by date and provided no support. Despite providing a toaster and microwave the cupboard only had 2 small cups and a teaspoon in it. However basic crockery and cutlery was provided on request.

Review 62:Convenient, value for money, plenty of space for 2 people let alone a single. Renovated bathroom. Walking distance to Cultural centre and town. 5 mins drive to the zoo.

Review 63:Rooms very small, no room to move. Our room had been renovated but some things not finished off. When walking into reception it was extremely hot not very appealing.

Review 64:Location reasonable

Review 65:Room very old and not very clean. Internet not good in the room. Had to go near the office to access. Pool surrounds are very shabby. Hotel needs a complete upgrade.

Review 66:Location is good. Pool is ok

Review 67:couldnt connect to the free WiFi

Review 68:family room was great nice and clean air con worked great, single and double rooms were also great, great rate will stay again if we go back to dubbo, such a good location didnt need the gps to get to the zoo or shopping centre, kids had a a great time cooling off in the pool to.

Review 69:Nothing. We had no complaints.

Review 70:My granddaughters loved the pool and the proximity to macdonalds food outlet. They rarely get to have maccas and they always love to swim.

Review 71:There was a small problem with the key card to the room not opening the door quickly. No other complaints for my stay and I will return there.

Review 72:I had no complaints with comfort or facilities. All I needed for my stay was available, clean and convenient.

Review 73:service was great, they gave us a microwave to help, great price for the 3 off us. pool was great and the laundry facilities cheap. plenty of room. food taste great. would highly recommend. very close to everything.

Review 74:7cm gap from bottom of door to floor at front door. Review I read said "out of the way and quiet"- far from it! I heard blasting car stereo's from the extremely busy road at front every night. There is a large hole on wall on the top of the ancient airconditioner that was in a sorry shape. There was a sheet but there was no doona, rather a very thin mink blanket. Very minimal Austar/Foxtel so don't bank on having a decent or appropriate chanel for your kids. Be prepared to watch the news or some obscure sport. After a 9hr drive, didn't get more than 3 words from man at the bench. Obvious the bathroom floor hadn't been cleaned before our arrival.

Review 75:Close to centre of town.

Review 76:There was nothing that I didn't like.

Review 77:Bathroom has been upgraded and it seems as if the Motel itself is being upgraded as a whole. Bed was excellent, along with the aircon.

Review 78:Wifi did not connect. Pool area required some maintenance , but overall all was good. Stated there again on my return journey and family booked a family room as well

Review 79:Room rates good, very comfy bed, clean, nice bathroom.

Review 80:The room initially smelt damp (like wet dogs). The tea making things were minimal and stored in a high cupboard. The place felt a bit rundown and struggling to survive in a town with many many motels. Wouldn't have stayed if I hadn't pre-booked.

Review 81:The air conditioning worked well and was quiet, the bed was comfortable.

Review 82:Nothing

Review 83:Got lift early to Dubbo to stay o/night prior to admission to hospital next morning. Great to be able to check in and fill in time comfortably.

Review 84:only thing is mayb a dvd player for movies at night for the kids

Review 85:the place was clean quiet and towels toilet cleaned daily location to everything was close,will diff stay here again

Review 86:The group of young people who had the next room and the one above having a party banging on windows of our room being very loud and rude no one got any sleep they need to monitor who books rooms more carefully

Review 87:Location was good

Review 88:Need coffee mugs rather than cups Better coffee Bench space in bathroom very limited

Review 89:A kitchen sink + detergent & tea towel Crockery etc Good size room Great location & quiet

Review 90:Easy walking distance to town, Western Plains Zoo just around the corner. Excellent restaurants nearby. Kitchen facilities allowed us to have our own breakfast. Comfortable beds and a large room.

Review 91:The room itself needs a touch of maintenance, coat of paint and more modern bed linen. The yard needs some maintenance.

Review 92:Clean & Tidy. Rooms appear to be going thru a renovation. Bathroom and Entrance to the room recently tiled.

Review 93:Tiny, tiny fridge, and very, very small "kitchen" area. Grounds and pool are much less luxurious than the photo implies. Sofa bed sagging and uncomfortable to sit on.

Review 94:Lovely staff, low price.

Review 95:Room wasn't ready on arrival. Channels on TV were either sport channels and one movie channel, no free to air channels could be watched. The hot water had run out!! asked staff why there was no hot water and was told someone would fix it, didn't enjoy the freezing cold shower that morning! Wouldn't stay at this motel again as I don't enjoy cold showers when I'm paying good money and the staff weren't very helpful.

Review 96:The room was nice, been renovated with new bathroom and comfortable bed.

Review 97:Wi fi not very good in fact we could not get it to work on our laptop or iPad.

Review 109:Did not use the facilities for our food, so we are not complaining about anything.

Review 110:Very comfortable accommodation. Good TV. Close to our family. The lowest floor was great for us seniors.

Review 111:WiFi pass code did not work and as we had arrived near 10pm and didn't open up the ipad until snuggled in bed, it was a little inconvenient to get out and wander down to the office again. Therefore, it was a bit disappointing in that I had also chosen this motel for the WiFi.

Review 112:24 hour reception. Great when you don't really know what time you will be arriving. Friendly service. Rooms were roomy and well supplied with everything you need for an extended stay (even though we were only overnights). Microwave, toaster, plates and cutlery. Fantastic, at our room was. Would stay here again, and note, we have stayed in quite a few motels in Dubbo over the years.

Review 113:Sorry, staff were average.... Can't say they overly friendly,but did their job. Not very personable.

Review 117:The room was small but not too small. We had a family room, a double bed and 2 singles in one long room.

Review 118:The room was in very good condition and very clean.

Review 119:The little bits like milk in the fridge were missing. Not sure if it was this motel, but often it is very difficult to fill jugs from the tap in the bathroom basin. There just isn't enough room to fit and fill it properly. Don't think there were any biscuits. That's a big issue if you are tired after a long drive.

Review 120:The room was clean and more than adequate, but it lacked something.

Review 121:Light didn't work in kitchenette No soap dish in shower, was broken Cold draft came in through underneath the front door Heater wasn't very effective Electric blanket didn't work
