Its a great spot, right next to the Forster Bowls Club. The motel is perfect. The rooms are very well appointed, the staff are always friendly. I have come down from Tweed Heads to this area for a number of years. I wish I had found it earlier. I will certainly be staying here in the future.

This motel is great to stay at. Rooms are nice and large, clean but a little dated, beds could be updated as they are a bit passed their use date. Fantastic location to all amenities

Typical motel. Traffic noise especially wet road is intrusive if you get room 27, those towards lake Parkway/ McIntosh Rd. You can walk in 3 minutes to bowl club, 15 minutes to retail area, 20 minutes to pebble beach. Flat boring walk.

They are false advertising there is no cable tv. And the wifi doesn’t work unless you are standing right outside the office.The cleaning lady Michelle was lovely and did her best to help us out.The woman behind the desk, in the office was unapologetic for the lack of wifi service and also sounded annoyed when asked about the “advertised Cable tv”However the room was clean and functional for a short stay- (Bar the lack of wifi)We tried the bowling club next door for dinner but they didn’t serve any food on a Monday night. I then asked if I could buy a pkt of chips for my daughter and they also did not sell this other that in a vending machine in the pokie area. Not ideal when you have card not cash.

Place was well located for us. The only thing the garden light shone in the room all night. It was like day light all night. Needs heavier curtains or a blind to block the light out.

Forster Palms Motel is practically and conveniently located in central Forster. Everything youll need from stores to entertainment is close by including the bowling club. The staff here are wonderful and friendly and are a great help to its clients.The rooms are clean neat and tidy, and some of the suits are accompanied with spa baths. There is also a clean salt water swimming pool on site with barbeque facilities. The accommodation and rooms are affordable and Ill come back to keep this as my home in Forster. Ring to book today...

Great value for money. Absolutely spotlessly clean, good size room, bed was one of the most comfortable have had in a motel. Linen and towels lovely and fresh. Reception staff very friendly and helpful. Pool area well maintained with good seating and BBQ area. Only one little issue the curtains could be heavier to block out garden /outdoor lighting.

We got exactly what we wanted and expected, the WiFi is decent, the owners are very nice. If youre the type to sleep in its worth knowing it can be a little noisy and the curtains arent super thick, maybe ask for a room far from the laundry if theyve got it.

TERRIBLE! Zero!? Terrible customer service and the staff are so rude! I called and Vicky answered and her tone was very condescending and she said argued with me and all I wanted to do was finish my booking. She said no, and simply hung up on me and refused to answer.

AVOID THIS PLACE! Can I give it a Zero!? Terrible customer service and the staff are so rude! We had a confirmation it was booked then after checking her system there was an error. I called and Vicky answered and her tone was very condescending and she said argued with me and all I wanted to do was finish my and book it in due to the hotel having banking issues. Vickys tone went even more sour, I said I didnt like her tone and attitude and I just wanted to fix it up. She said your hotel is canceled and simply hung up on me and refused to answer.

Central location, close to beaches, cafes, restaurants, etc. Right next to local bowling club which also owns the motel so we got drink vouchers for the bowling club at check-in. Rooms were nice for a motel and we got decent rates. Large room with a sofa, queen bed, fridge and tea making amenities, plus microwave. Free Wi-Fi with good reception but not quite stable enough to stream Netflix but thats what the heated salt water pool is for!

We requested a refund after only 5 minutes as the room we were given was tiny and smelled badly of Pesticides. I am asthmatic and within minutes the smell triggered an attack. We had no alternative but to leave. We were given a full refund and were told that no sprays had been used. It was a doubtful reply to our query as the car park had several Pest Company vans & employees milling around talking and drinking alcohol in the BBQ area, who appeared to have just completed a job at the Motel. It could be a great place, but under the circumstances it was too dangerous to stay.

Under new management from 12th January - the day we arrived - Vicki the new manager is great, she actually discounted our hotel room tariff without us asking as she felt the prior manager had overpriced. Its currently a 3 star hotel that is clean and a little worn in places. Over the 10 days we stayed Vicki filled two container size skips with old furniture and fittings so I can only assume there is a massive refurbishment going on.

Id avoid at all cost I came here on my long weekend and birthday to go on the first night disgusted in the nicest way possible. I normally bite my tongue but this time I couldnt the advertisement is 80% wrong.I stayed in the deluxe queen spa room 36. River view is of a run off water drain, the kettle had water with mold in it, the cups were cover in coffee stains hair although the bathroom, no WiFi, no austar and 100% zero knowledge of the business. So thank you to Jackie the guy at reception for making the process 110% harder and longer by saying it isnt his problem. Pathetic customers service skills.The positive thing was pulling out of the drive way and never coming back.

The fold sofa bed wasnt very pleasant. The mattress on the sofa bed was very thin, and overall didnt feel nice. However, the location was good, providing quick and easy access to fast food restaurants, petrol stations giving coffee and tea for 80c
