We booked a basic room and that's what we got. The rooms need work but it is not a 5 star establishment.

Positives - It’s central to the CBD of Lismore. Negatives, the room was dirty (old carpets with stains) mould on fridge door, no flyscreen on windows so several bugs in the room. Bathroom was renovated so poorly, it was laughable. Gaps in gyprock, split edges, cornices that don’t fit properly. Three little bottles of shampoo but no conditioner, water took 6 minutes to warm up, shower is dirty with rust stains! Basically, it was awful experience. Never going back.
Stains on carpet.
Mould on fridge door.
Trip hazard, tiles missing, gap in floor.

We realise that Lismore was devastated by floods in 2022, however the Motel was very expensive for the relative room condition. Bathroom sink had to double for cleaning dishes. Floor of shower was slippery. Cobwebs in some corners. Limited power points. No fresh milk. The bed was very comfortable though and we both slept well - the main factor.

Cockroaches crawling from cracks in the walls, dried blood on the back of the door, rubbish bin was full of previous people’s rubbish, surfaces were grimy, no cover on the quilt, and had a person under the influence yelling all night to themselves walking in and around the property. Everyone says you’ll find yourself at a horrible stay like this once in your life and I hope I never experience it again.

Dirty carpet and chairs. Musty smell in room . Stains on hand towel. No door to bathroom. Holes in curtains. Fibro in window in place of glass panel. Electrical cable sticking out of wall in partly renovated bathroom. dirty coffee cup. No fly screen on only opening window and blinds that would not go up or down. Rusty rubbish bin. Not worth $170 dollars - we won’t be back
