Outrageous pricing

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.

Would stay here again if parking was better

Stayed here for 1 night. Position of motel is good, with not much traffic noise. Parking on the other hand is a different story. We could not get parking outside our unit due to an inconsiderate driver taking up two parking spots. This made it extremely difficult to get a park when arriving back at motel around 9pm.

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.
