Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
There was so much noise from ill fitting windows, ancient refrigerators, exhaust fan that can’t be turned off, street cleaners at 3.30am, rubbish collection bins at 4.30am and the playground opposite the building I didn’t get any sleep at all The toilet wasn’t cleaned properly and the manager had no idea how to run the bookings We paid over $300 per night for the worst experience we have ever experienced

The room was a good size and very clean. Shower was pretty good with plenty of hot water. Probably the best part was the large balcony which was great for a relaxing drink in the late afternoon. It wasn't a great view just overlooking the main street, but we didn't pay for a view so didn't care. Great location in Ballina very handy to shops and restaurants.

The room was clean and comfortable. Requested a water view by email and also asked questions about check in via email but did not get a reply. When I telephoned about check in the person was helpful. The water view was lovely from the front of the hotel, unfortunately we had a car park view from the back of the hotel.
