Clean and comfortable basic motel”
Just needed a place to spend the night.Did not want to waste the views by powering through Ballina and Byron Bay through the night on the way to Gold Coadt. Arrived at the motel at around 10pm after a 6 hour drive. Was able to contact the manager and gave me instructions on where the key was kept. Got a fa,mily room as we were 2 couples. Place was clean, beds, pillows and linen are what you would find in a nice hotel. The curtains were just bit dusty and gave me an allergy. Overall a good enough place to sleep in before heading out somewhere else the next day.

Ok for 3 nights”
We stayed for a bowls tournament so location to the club this was held at was great, just down the road. Otherwise it was a good 10-15 minute walk to Main Street. We had breakfast at motel 1 morning and it was very nice. Rooms need major updating but they were clean and tidy and fine for our stay. Only gripe was the $200 per night we paid but that was over peak Christmas time so expensive everywhere in Ballina that time of year

We often stay overnight at Motels when going longer distances, to break up the trip. My review is based on a Motel. With that in mind, I can not fault this establishment. Very pleased.

Good helpful management. The motel is under renovation as at Feb 2017, so former well-used rooms are being modernized; which should see an increase in scores.

Older style motel, on road into and out of town.”
while this hotel was quite a long walk from the main shopping street, it was within walking distance of the local bowling club, which provided reasonably priced meals. the hotel room was a decent size and recently refurbished. the undercover parking was a bonus, keeping the car cool. overall, good value for money.

Mid week one night stay”
Checked in a little ahead of time. Lady at check in seemed a bit hostile towards me at first. Not sure if she was having a bad day or just rude. Gent that took over checking me in was very pleasant and helpful with guiding my tall vehicle into the underground carpark. Requested a quiet room as I am a light sleeper with no passing foot traffic. Unfortunately, there were other guest in rooms opposite mine that returned from dinner late and decided to talk outside their rooms at 10pm. Room was clean and well presented. No Foxtel or Netflix as was noted in the compendium due to Covid. This is the third time I have encountered this and it was not mentioned at check-in and there was no offer to reduce tariff or something to make up the shortfall of that service NOT being available. If it is included in the room rate; and isn’t available, then surely you are not getting ALL you paid for. Overall, I would stay again if I needed a clean room in the middle of town. Bowling club is a short walk away, my chicken schnitzel was the WORST I think I have ever had when I dined there, over cooked, caesar salad was the go.

Relaxing and enjoyable stay”
We loved our stay here. It was great to come back to the room after a big day of sightseeing to find our beds made, clean towels and the room clean and tidy. I could sit back with a coffee while the rest of the family swam in the pool. Definitely will stay here again.
