We will not use it again. Reported door catch which caught my tee shirt ripping - it very sharp. Mentioned to staff and reception - very indifferent. Very very noisy - such that they provided ear plugs - and paid $20 extra to secure ground floor room, Rip off. Will not recommend and never use again.

Thanks for the feedback Paula. We were surprised (rather than indifferent) as there does not appear to be anything wrong with the door latch, and I cant say anyone has ever caught themselves on one before, as well as your suggestion you could sue us which seemed unecessary under the circumstances?! Most guests are appreciative of the complimentary earplugs and many light sleepers welcome the gesture. We have no Queen rooms on the ground floor, so the additional cost was only to upgrade you to an available room type, which we would have advised if you had mentioned your need to be on the ground floor prior to arrival.

Property is adjacent to the highway running through Coffs. HGVs run past the property and our room was at the end of the "block", just 20 metres from the road. It was noisy. Other rooms further away may not have had this problem. Ear plugs were supplied (thus recognising that there is a noise problem) but the other observation of the area is that there are a lot of motels on the same street. Most seemed to be a little further back than the end room we had at the Matador. The room size was good. The air con worked beautifully after a hot day in the car and the pool was nice and refreshing for a cool down.

Very friendly and helpful staff. I had to delay a booking for one night very late in the day because of a family issue and they were totally understanding. This place is ideal for a quick overnight stop, being right next door to the highway. Great motel.
