Positives - It’s central to the CBD of Lismore. Negatives, the room was dirty (old carpets with stains) mould on fridge door, no flyscreen on windows so several bugs in the room. Bathroom was renovated so poorly, it was laughable. Gaps in gyprock, split edges, cornices that don’t fit properly. Three little bottles of shampoo but no conditioner, water took 6 minutes to warm up, shower is dirty with rust stains! Basically, it was awful experience. Never going back.

We realise that Lismore was devastated by floods in 2022, however the Motel was very expensive for the relative room condition. Bathroom sink had to double for cleaning dishes. Floor of shower was slippery. Cobwebs in some corners. Limited power points. No fresh milk.
The bed was very comfortable though and we both slept well - the main factor.

Cockroaches crawling from cracks in the walls, dried blood on the back of the door, rubbish bin was full of previous people’s rubbish, surfaces were grimy, no cover on the quilt, and had a person under the influence yelling all night to themselves walking in and around the property. Everyone says you’ll find yourself at a horrible stay like this once in your life and I hope I never experience it again.

Expedia details for this property suggest there is:
a bar, a restaurant and room service. None of these features exist and something I was hoping to make use of.

Expedia's rating is 8.4, very good.

I think that rating is extremely generous, and I would suggest a rating reflecting Average to Poor.

Good points: There was a bed. It was clean.

Very disappointed overall.

First of all was greeted poorly, we checked in approximately 7:45, 15mins prior to closing time.

We had booked for 3 people, 2 adults and 1 Child (9) the room was fitted with 2 towels and only a double bed.

Pool needed to be tended too, it was very cloudy, and a small shade of green.

Mould in the grout lines of the bathroom, cracked shower screen.

The facilities in the room were great, had toaster, kettle, microwave, fridge, tea, coffee,sugar, milk and biscuits.

We decided to stay in Lismore to help and support a rebuilding community, however these are issues that could be rectified easily.

Morning Ross (I think that’s your name) the only thing I’d like to let you know that the double bed in room 108 where we stayed the bed might be broken as every time I moved in it it made a clonking noise and I thought it was going to collapse on me . Lmao
I will be staying at your motel every time I come up to Lismore and I hope we will get the same room as I enjoyed it all there.

Average stay 6/10.

Property still under repair from floods so understand it’s not up to standard as yet. The deluxe room whilst big in size was not as new as photos shown, & in need of a deep clean. Room smelt of cigarettes & smokers in rooms nearby. No window shade in the toilet was off putting with view of neighbors opposite. Steps only to access upper levels. Limited parking in complex but street parking available. Quiet street , average 3star motor inn, overpriced but they do need the support. Limited options in the area as flood recovery is ongoing.

Firstly, check in is 8pm and NOT up to 11.30pm as stated in Wotif site. Tried calling motel number through the wotif app as well as dialling ourselves and phone didn’t ring just made weird sound then hung up on us. Found the night bell, called it twice, very grumpy mgr not impressed with our arrival time told us he shouldn’t be letting us in at this time. Room was hard to find, numbers on doors missing digits, too many negatives about aesthetics to mention Had to ask people at 3:30am to please be quiet as couldn’t sleep with all the noise in courtyard. Woke at 6 to some kind of yelling verbal altercation between a couple with aggressive foul language for at least 5mins. Was concerned with the rabbit Warren layout and dead ends to corridors. Needed a room for sleep which we didn’t get much of. Wouldn’t stay again as we just driving though. Sorry but this is hotel I would never recommend and I’m happy to rough it but not here
