Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
A lovely stay. A very comfortable bed, lovely pillows and great towels. Comfortable and compact room suitable for a solo traveller. Plus extras like a luggage rack, bedlamp, hanging space, toaster, kettle. I had everything I needed.
We stayed there for one night only. I cannot complain about anything. The staff was very friendly, the room and bathroom were very clean. Easy check in - check out. Nice outdoor seating. We had our dinner there. I would definitely consider this place for a stop over for our next trip.
Very friendly reception - spotlessly clean room - comfortable bed and pillows - nice fluffy towels - although the room was small, it was perfectly adequate for an overnight stay. The breakfast was large and reasonable value. Would I stay here again, yes, definitely.
Room was clean and seemed refurbished. Adequate space with proper table and chairs. Comfortable beds. Good amount of cutlery. Conveniently located. Would certainly stay there again.
Room very clean; sufficient kitchen utensils and bathroom needs. Bed comfortable; pleasant surroundings; ideal accommodation for a short stay of perhaps 3 days. I would certainly stay there again if passing through Ballina.
