Two things I liked about the place is the friendliness of staff and the cleanliness of the tiny motel room we were given, room 4. But it is wrong for the property to advertise itself as a resort because it simply is an old and outdated motel. I don't want to be unfair, but I haven't been in a small old motel room like Room 4 for fifty years. We even had a blanket with a cigarette burn in it. Going to the toilet and then having to wash our hands in the kitchen sink isn't acceptable any longer. There isn't anywhere in the bathroom to place a toothbrush or razor. Overall I suggest the room we were given was simply mean. At least the front office staff looked a bit embarrassed when I got there and protested about our room, although there was no remedy offered. We were there for two nights only so we put up with it, but never again.

We stayed overnight while travelling but would definitely stay here again if travelling or holidaying in Ballina. Restaurant menu looked good, reasonable prices. The pool and spa are resort-style. It’s an older property but has been well maintained and updated rooms. Our room was freshly painted and had new curtains and new sofa bed. The bed was really comfortable and good aircon and large TV. Bathroom in good condition but shower could have more pressure but there was a small bath which we loved. Mini bar available, decent size fridge and toaster and kettle. Staff at check in were friendly.
