Friendly, clean and convenient.

I have stayed at this motel previously and would do so again. Reception warm and welcoming, room clean and comfortable. The location is within walking distance to restaurants and venues such as the Ballina RSL club which has very good dining facilities and river views. The bed was a little too firm for me but not a real issue.
