Room spotless, staff very friendly.
Location is great. No noise from street traffic. Would definitely recommend to others and will stay again if in Ballina
From check in to check out our experience was excellent. Convenient location within a short walk to cafes and dining options for all budgets. Our room was spacious and clean with all of the amenities you need for a short stay or longer if needed.
Excellent property, and we were grateful for having such a spacious three bedroom apartment for our family to stay in. The location is excellent, directly opposite the RSL which does fantastic meals overlooking the river (and has a kids club during dinner time!) The room was spotlessly clean, the service was friendly, and parking and check-in was simple.
Staff excellent on check in
Changed booking without any issues
Staff very informative when I asked some questions about food available close to the motel
I would stay there again
