If you need a cheap place to stay in Parkes its hard to go past this pub. Its $30 a night for a room or $25 a night if you stay the week.
Provided you don't expect much for that price you'll be happy. The rooms are basic and clean and come with air con, a tv, small fridge and either a double or single bed. The double bed rooms have a chest of drawers while the single bed rooms have a wardrobe. Plus there's parking at the rear and cheap pub meals downstairs.
It's also in a great location smack in the middle of the cbd.
Probably not a good idea if you don't like cats though. There is a resident cat who roams the halls and it's one of the biggest cats I've ever seen. Unfortunately it didn't make it to the litter box one night and I found a huge surprise in the hall outside my room. But hey for 30 bucks I was happy to step around it and keep going ;-) read more
