Motel was very clean, basic, older, yet updated thoughtfully. Comfy Queen Bed (Rm 1) with good pillows too. Clean pool all in a quiet and private location away from the hustle of the main drag, but only a few blocks (very short drive)away from it. Only a short stroll to Cherry Street Sports Club with a temporary membership deal with Motel made for a great evening meal option. Only negatives were potential trip hazards on room entry and bathroom thresholds and very low toilet height with no handrail for assistance for older or mobility impaired guests.
This is a family-style hotel that has been in operation for more than 50 years. The environment is very good, next to the sea, and it takes about 3 minutes to drive to the beach. very quiet. There is free breakfast and of course free parking. The location is a bit remote, so it’s best to drive there by yourself.
We spent 4 nights here while in Ballina. Our room (No 12) had a nice view onto the back garden where we could watch the chickens peck away at the garden. The room was very clean and tidy and well serviced and of a good size. The only negative was that the sliding door into the bathroom had a broken track (missing most of the ball bearings) and wouldn't slide. I found one ball bearing on the track and did a bit of a repair so that it had some sliding motion.

Great clean Motel in the centre of Ballina, bed was extremely comfortable and rooms were very spacious for my family.

We stayed here for 2 nights after being rained out while camping in national parks. Our room was very comfortable, and with microwave etc so we could self cater with meals prepared for camping.
