High quality styling, but disappointing upkeep

The property had high quality styling both externally and internally to the rooms. Unfortunately, this high quality styling was not matched by the maintenance. Water stains evident in the ceiling and patching thereof did not match the quality of the remainder of the property. Additionally, the air conditioner unit was not sufficiently powerful for the rooms.

It was convenient for me as I just needed to rest overnight on my way to QLD. My room was clean but could do with a new mattress and the bathroom and kitchen could do with a makeover. The windows have flimsy fly screens so for safety I needed to shut the windows, I would prefer some fresh air, perhaps new crimsafe type screens would be good. The pool looked lovely but it was a bit cold for a swim. On the whole and for the price it was an ok motel.

Best place to stay in Grafton

Everything was above expectations from the very friendly reception to the immaculately clean room which was a whole suite with living room, dining area, kitchen (microwave) separate bedroom and bathroom. The room was very tastefully furnished and decorated, the bed very comfortable. Outside there are cosy seating areas surrounded by plants, there is a pool too.By far the best place to stay in Grafton that I now of.
