I needed a place to stay for work in Lismore, I checked Mr Google and this place lit up through Trip Advisor. The reviews were all similar regarding clean, nice, affordable and very friendly service. Due to that, I booked by phone and had a great chat. On arrival, I found the motel to be clean and well presented, was... More

Stayed a couple of nights with my girlfriend on our way south. The service was some of the best I have received anywhere with nothing too much trouble. Very friendly staff always greeted us with a smile and made us feel very welcome. The rooms were well appointed with free wifi (password provided without asking) and breakfast, while simple was...

I needed somewhere to stay the night in Lismore at the last minute. This motel was very well priced and Stuart gave a very pleasant welcome, without being intrusive. Rooms were average size and decor a bit dated, but it was clean and very good value overall. Recommended.

According to a list at the Information Centre, all the Lismore Motels are between three and four stars. I don't know how these ratings are determined, but reflecting on our NSW travel experience I would say our room here is two star. The room has a Queen bed and a single, a round table with one chair, a small desk... More

Stayed here in April after consulting Trip Advisor and found it to be spot-on as expected. We dined in house with friends and the food was quite good overall and facilitated having a few wines without needing taxi service. Pool, bbq and wi-fi topped it off.

I have stayed in too many motels to count and generally they are okay. This motels stands out because it attends to the little personal touches which others overlook e.g. how many motels have large water boling jugs which will not fit under the tap in the bathroom?.. not this one, they have supplied jugs which can be filled from...

This is a clean , well positioned motel in Lismore. The owners are very helpful with everything and can offer suggestions for touring around the area. This is not an upmarket hotel but doesn't pretend to be. Its a 'family style' old fashioned motel which is quite adequate, clean & friendly. We got a 'seniors' package which was great value.... More
