We stopped over for a night on the way to Tweed Heads as a family and this motel is conveniently situated on the main road but is very quiet. Room was decent in size and modestly clean. Kids loved the pool and pool towels are provided. Toilet had a small problem but there were ones outside just in case they weren’t fixed in time. Close to city centre and we’ll priced.

The Espana Motel, Grafton was recommended to us as a good clean well-maintained motel. We planned to stop overnight on our way to Sydney following my husband's medical procedure in Brisbane. His procedure was delayed by several hours and it was obvious we could not reach Grafton as planned. A call to the owner/manager was all it took to have our booking cancelled at such short notice was to explain our genuine situation. The fact that the owner/manager was so helpful and pleasant was very much appreciated. We are grateful to him as we had to book else in Brisbane overnight and return to our journey the next day. It says a lot about any manager at a motel, particularly a country hotel, that they treat their customers so well. We will stay at the Espana Motel on another occasion and we recommend it for the owner's understanding and courtesy. If you are reading this at the Espana Motel, thank you again so much.

First impressions usually count and the gentleman at the reception was most polite and friendly. The motel is just South of Grafton and we found it quiet. The beds were very comfortable and the room exceptionally clean. The bathroom was a good size and very clean. I liked the configuration as it's different than the usual. This was for two adults, mother and daughter. It's a little dated but that didn't bother us at all as it was so clean and tidy.

I purchased a Twin Room online upon entering Grafton to help my aging mother 83
1 Queen Bed and 1 Twin Bed and was rudley treated when I mentioned my mother and two sons 6 & 8 were staying. Man couldn't speak English clearly and was abrupt without being clear... I travel internationally and interstate monthly and would not recommend. The highway motel Just across the road was extremely pleasant.

If you need a stay for one night while on road trip, it's ok for that. It's an average highway motel with distant staff and clean enough rooms. It is in need of renovation as everything feels and smells old.

Clean typical motel room in country town of South Grafton, NSW. Good for our one night stay. May need a bigger room if you wish to stay longer. Comfortable bed, no sofa. Bathroom desperately need exhaust fan !

Service and courtesy can indeed make your day... I like this quaint till motel. They provide great service, are WONDERFULLY clean, and do very well keeping an older property in great condition. Always immaculate. Grafton has a few motels, but I always come to Espana. I find it very comfortable, especially the beds, pillows, and nice towels. Good work desk - car at the door...

We just stayed at this motel and the good points were that:
1. There were modern facilites including shower, vanity, and flat screen TV 2. All nice and clean.
The not so good points were:
1. Very dated decore 2. Beds not all that comfy.
The really bad points
1. The noise, OMG if you like a quite peaceful rest then look elsewhere. The train line is extremely close and the motel is situated on the busy Pacific HWY so lots of truck traffic. However the truck traffic paled into insignificance compared to the train noise, crikey it sounded like they were going to come through the window.
It is an okay place for an emerency stop over but if you were intending to stay a couple of days I would not recommend it due to the noise factor.
