Quality Inn Dubbo International

10/10 Excellent

"I have absolutely nothing negative to say! This stay was the best we have had during our 14 days roadtrip from QLD to VIC and back. The staff were so friendly and helpful, the room super clean and aircon was even on ready for when we arrived, super quiet (despite being on front room near highway), and facilities great. We will be back!!"

The Oxley Motel

"Everything and everyone was great. Helpful, restful, flexible. Beds were great. Bathtub clean. On a future renovation, some extra powerpoints could be helpful, but a minor point and easily overcome by taking extension cord."

10/10 Excellent

"If I was returning to Dubbo I wouldn't hesitate to book again. It's one of those rare places where the photos don't do it justice. It's a large thoughtfully designed home that is perfect for a multi-generational stay."
