What guests think

At Apollo Motel Parkes, travellers describe clean, budget-friendly, pet-welcoming stays with comfortable, often spacious rooms, a generally quiet setting off the highway, and handy basics like parking at the door, though the exterior and some areas feel dated.

Staff are often described as friendly and accommodating, though multiple reviews note lapses such as unattended reception, rude exchanges, or booking and refund issues. Facilities cover the essentials and a pool many enjoy, but upkeep can vary, with occasional grimy pool days and limited laundry access. Rooms are functional and comfortable, with strong showers and good Wi-Fi mentioned, alongside intermittent problems like noisy or weak air-conditioning, plumbing hiccups, traffic noise, or carpet odours and stains. Expect a simple, good-value roadside stopover rather than a polished stay.

Family of 5, the room was clean and quite roomy, space for dining table which was nice. Bathroom very average, but clean and it was not an expensive motel so wouldn’t except much more. Kids enjoyed the pool, it wasn’t (or didn’t seem) heated. Love that there was only 2 DVDs to choose from, a kids Bambi and The Dish 😅 I would stay again for the price

The property was very clean, and the bed was tidy and comfortable. Everything I needed was available in the room, which was great. The only downside was a noticeable smell coming from the carpet — that was a bit unpleasant. Otherwise, a good stay overall.

The motel has zero street appeal. We were worried about what we were getting ourselves into, but you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Our room was immaculately clean and someone has done a great job at refurbishing the rooms. The mattress was soft and super comfy and reminded me of my own mattress. Had a great sleep.

The Motel was a little out of town - perfect. I smiled when I saw the very well kept swimming pool - it was early winter and WAY too cold for me though. The rooms were clean enough, the carpet however had many stains on it which sadly didn't always make up for the cleanliness elsewhere. Housecleaning staff were amazing. Nothing too hard to too small to do for you - thank you :)

We stayed here on our way back from Victoria to the Gold Coast and found as a motel it was a little dated, however the family room was spacious, clean, tidy and freshly painted. Beds were comfortable, shower facilities had shampoo and soap, ironing board and iron was available as well as fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, air-conditioning and fans. Bath tub and shower facilities. Extremely happy with staying here and wouldn't hesitate to come back again. Very affordable

The room was spacious, bed comfortable, nice bathroom, lounge chair, small dining table, separate work space area, sufficient power points, WiFi worked well and all the basic essentials. As an added bonus parking is right at the door. There was a poor outside and with the new by-pass not much traffic noise as what might have been as before. Rachel the manager of the motel was very friendly, offered fresh milk for my tea/coffee and took time to have a chat. The place had information about Parkes that was helpful. It was a good experience and I recommend this place.

Very disappointed with the check in. Our room was sold before we arrived to someone else. We arrived at 4.50pm and was told that they had been trying to ring us 'all' day! We were driving with limited reception and regardless I had spoken with Rachel the night before when she rang to check that we were coming. Had to wait at reception until she found other accommodation for the people that had not arrived yet.

I arrived at check in time, and no one was at the property. I called all available numbers and also called Expedia and got no help. 2-3hrs later I got a text from the motel saying "sorry about that, please come back". I had already arranged new accommodation at that stage. No refund was issued by Expedia or the motel.
