Extremely old and run down. Check in was not a pleasant experience. After waiting without being acknowledged owner finally asked my name and handed me a key just stating room number and nothing else. When leaving the following morning had to ring owner twice and leave message. He finally came to the door in pyjamas, this was just after 7am. I went in and paid.....no thank you for my honesty, etc. Extremely hard to find after dark as signs outside do not work. Power point where kettle and toaster were plugged in appeared to be faulty. Mosquitos were plentiful in the room along with cans of insect spray.

Stayed 1 night travelling through.
Even though the booking stated 24 hour reception we arrived to find reception locked up and we had to call someone via a phone outside the door. After 3 attempts that went unanswered someone came out and we were given keys to the room. The room was quite roomy for a motel and facilities were more than we expected. We would stay again if we were in the area.

Short stay. Definately stay here next time!
Stopped in Grafton on the way to the Gold Coast. Arrived late at the hotel and owners had "gone to town". However they had left a note with the key which made checking in a breeze. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Great value for money. Next day left early so just needed to drop the key in a box. Overall very good experience and would highly recommend.

This is our second stay now at this Motel and it was much better than the first time we stayed here. The only down-side was that the door to the bathroom wouldn't close shut so privacy was a bit of an issue.
