Very nice staff, but room, and particularly the bathroom, in need of some attention and renovation to modernise. Still, a pleasant stay, we were really only there to sleep.

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.

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.

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.
