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.

We stayed here for the night while travelling. We had a family room which had a divider wall between the king bed and the king singles. Everything was very clean. The only negative was that we were on the 1st floor (because I hadn’t checked that) which played havoc with my knees using the stairs. We were able to walk across the road to the RSL for dinner. We would definitely stay again.

Dated and poor value for money

This place does not deserve the high rating - or the high price ($276/night). It’s very dated and feels dodgy. The towel rack in the bathroom fell off as soon as we hung our towel on it as it was only taped to the wall.

The only upside was the service - the lady in the reception was excellent as she arranged for us to check in after hours.

Overall wouldn’t recommend 1/10.

Upon check in I was repeatedly told I \"should have booked with the hotel directly because it would be cheaper\"... it wasn't. It was said 4 times and made me uncomfortable. I just wanted to check in after travelling with my family and didn't need to be told that booking through an online service cost the hotel money and a commission.

The room itself was spacious and had all the needed facilities. The floor however felt gritty and in need of a more thorough mop. Everything else was very clean.

Hotel is located on the Main Street within walking distance of lots of facilities.

I would probably stay there again for the convenience but would like the above issues rectified.

Tiny rooms, we arrived late with child, had to make up the bed for child once we arrived. Bed was weird and uncomfortable felt like we were sleeping up hill. Have stayed here once before and property gone downhill. Very expensive

Nice motel. Convenient for central Ballina. Bed a bit soft for me but not too bad.

This property was adequate for my needs. I arrived at 730pm or so and the office was not manned. I read the instructions and called the phone number. I was given instructions to get a key and easily found the room. It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. I believe there was only one other guest staying there.
The following morning I saw one staff person who was transporting linens to the property next door.
Bottom line? If you want to stay somewhere that is clean and quiet… without staff on site, then you can book here.
I’m on holiday and this did not add to my Australian experience. OTOH, I got a decent sleep and moved on.

It's hard for me to write a review for the Richmond Inn, as there was a problem with getting my key from the After Hours security box.

But the After Hours on-call reception staff were very helpful, and ended up giving me a room in the sister property next door, the Heritage Inn. (And due to this, I got an upgrade, which was nice, but all I needed was a comfortable bed after a big day of driving!)

Nice location
Pricey for what it was
The bed was soft and on a downward slope which was terrible.
Otherwise clean and nice

Helpful staff.

This was a one night stay and was very handy to everything in town. The particular room we had was very spacious but was next to a laneway and that got very noisy early in the morning. The staff, in particular the cleaner, were very helpful and helped me when she saw me wandering looking for something in particular. I appreciated her help very much. We would stay there again but would request a different room, even though it was beautifully set up.

Nice room, comfortable. No parking for me and the price was very expensive, but that was probably because it was NYE

Room was very expensive as it was a holiday, and all of Ballina had jackup their prices. I will go somewhere else next time to find better value. Room was nice and comfortable and clean, just to expensive.
