A pleasant place for the night
We were checked in by a kind and welcoming gentleman. He allowed to pick our preference from 2 sers of keys when we requested for options. We loved our room with a little garden area and private terrace. Double walled doors so road noise was minimal. Very clean and had all the facilities promised. The Chinese restaurant next door is excellent by the way!

I had three rooms booked and all were excellent. The managers at the Motel were extremely good. I had an issue with a lock on my trailer and they found me a grinder to break the lock and put on a new one. Motel was within walking distance of the major clubs and town center. I would definitely stay there again.

Our family of 6 only stayed 1 night, but if our travels allowed for us to have more time in Ballina we would have loved to stay longer. The room was spacious and accommodated us comfortably.
Close to shops and a variety of dining options within walking distance.
