Chinchilla Great Western Motor Inn

Will stay again Lovely spot for an overnight stay. Onsite restaurant was fabulous. Hosts and checkin staff friendly and efficient.

Reception was closed at 5:45pm despite advertising office hours were until 6:00pm. A girl eventually came and opened the door. She was rude and implied I should have a code. I explained I had not recieved any text regarding a code. After checking in the office she said there was a mix up and handed me a key. Unit 23 - everything smelt like cigarette smoke. The walls, the front entrance to room, the beds and the curtains There were small cockroaches on the study desk and on the kitchenette benches and walls. The pool did not look inviting at all. Bit drab and run down and dirty marks on the sides where water level sits. Unit 25 was open and looked abandoned and a mess when we arrived. Made me suspicious of staying at this motel to begin with. Not familiar with Chinchilla and surrounding areas, this did not set a good intro to the town.

Easy to get to. Clearly signed

Comfortable stay, clean ,bed was comfortable , quiet, and lovely surroundings, coffee and tea facilities ,they do have a restaurant with good reviews, driving distance to town and other other shops , along the way we passed the Big Watermelon.

Arrived and greeted by a lovely lady. The pool was great and after a big day it was a welcome sight. From there, it became a disappointment. The room was good but very dusty on skirting boards, on the bed head, on the cabinet beside the bed, on the top of wardrobe, on the light,food splatter in microwave, food behind the microwave, fly screen not attached to the door so could not leave open to get a fresh breeze. The shower was small, and I had to continuously watch the toilet as the water kept flowing till ypu went back in to push the button again, dust and bugs in the light in the bathroom. I brought by this up with the owners whose response was " that should be expected, it is dusty." Yes, you can expect a bit of dustbut when you have a card stating that you has been cleaned and serviced and all doors are closed, then it should be clean. Also stated that they are starting to do deep cleans/bond cleans so it will be better next time. I showed her the clothes I had cleqning cloths covered in dust with and pictures i took of my concerns and very little interest or care for any issues. She also stated that she had heaps of cards stating how good rooms are, my only thought is it must be the ones th at have had the deep cleans. Also, if you are a light sleeper, probably not the place to stay as the train goes through at 430 in the morning and sounds like it's horn and the contract workers leave at 5 am.

Very comfortable and restful after a long days driving
