We were staying in Lismore overnight because we needed to be an event early the following morning. We arrived just after 7pm and left just before 6am. The staff were friendly, the room was clean, the beds were comfortable and the shower was a big improvement on other showers I have used in similar establishments. The centre of town was only a few blocks away with take-away, restaurants and groceries. I would be happy to stay here again.

Very basic motel, quite expensive for what it is. Double bed comfortable but single bed you almost rolled off. Very dated decor, patches all over the walls, really needs some attention.

Karinga Motel is old but very clean. I would stay again.”

The only thing that would stop me from staying again was the people running the place, There people skills were non existent , They are the rudest and most abrupt people I've come across. Obviously they do not want to be there
