Overall a nice stay at this motel! The staff were excellent! Maybe it was because it was school holidays but quite pricey for the motel room. Other than this, I enjoyed my stay.

Courtyard motel in central Dubbo, one block from the busy main highway. All groundfloor accommodation, marked parking outside doors.
As the motel website warns, the least expensive, standard queen rooms and their ensuites are small but they are squeaky clean with microwave and toaster, plates and cutlery, as well as frig and tea/coffee tray. Bed was comfortable, has electric blankets, individual reading lamps and power points on both sides. There was a small dining table with two chairs and large wall mounted TV. Air conditioner worked well.
The on-site restaurant was closed but we dined very well at Rose Garden Thai in the next street, an easy flay walk from the motel.

Room was clean and had everything you’d need, nice cold aircon and the lady on the phone was absolutely lovely. The man at the front desk was a bit snappy to us though.
