Hay is basically 1/2 way between Adelaide and Sydney and so a convenient stop. The Bank (which is an old bank) is a very real alternative in both cost and comfort to the standard motels. Well appointed rooms with antiques maintained to a high standard. The owners are very capable and provide a fine breakfast. Hay itself has numerous interesting things to see and do. There is also a good cafe/takeaway across the street which provides good Thai food as well as standard Aussie food & pizza. The only thing that needs to be pointed out is that there is quite a flight of stairs to the room.
