Good location. Very clean room. Average accommodation for a reasonable price. AC was old and not really working effectively- not great on a very cold night. Light above the doorway which could not be blocked - not conducive to sleep.

Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Property has aged and rooms are in need of upgrades. Air conditioning/ heating in second bedroom of family room did not work. Bathroom was tiny for family room and with all showering despite quick showers condensation was streaming from the bathroom walls and toilet paper became very damp - no extraction fan just permanent open window vent to outside which made showering freezing in 0-5 deg. Beds were very hard. Accommodation is walking distance to town, very handy. Work crews stay at the location. Loud very early morning conversations outside rooms.

Our recent family stay at the Plainsman Motel in Forbes was a delightful surprise. After a long drive, pulling up to a clean and inviting motel was exactly what we needed. Stepping inside our room, we were greeted by fresh, crisp white linens – a small touch that made a big difference after a long journey. But the true star of the show was the friendly welcome we received from the staff at the front desk. Their warmth and hospitality instantly put us at ease and made us feel right at home. The Plainsman Motel is a great choice for families seeking a comfortable and welcoming stay in Forbes.
