We stayed at this motel for one night and had a very pleasant experience. The room was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. The staff were friendly and very responsive, even though we checked in a bit late, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was a good stay and we would be happy to stay here again.

Unfortunately, booked the Triple Room with Terrace but did not get this (Room 15 instead). Have stayed almost weekly for the past couple months and usually pretty good.

Staff were very helpful trying to accommodate our needs. We didn't realise the undercover parking would not accommodate our vehicle when booking online, as our Sprinter Van is 2.3m high. But the van could be parked in an open space on the property. They upgraded us to a bigger room than booked online and it was very spacious and clean. Located within a short walk to the RSL club and river is great, but it did get road noisy from 7am onwards in the front area. Very price friendly tho.

We did not see staff but check-in was easy with instructions remotely. Old school basic motel but clean and new furniture. Perfect for a few nights stay as walkable to central Ballina shops/cafes etc
