While the property itself is okay, the rating is regarding the poor customer service of the property. Unfortunately the property owner chose to stop communicating and refused a refund ä when there was an order to prepare for evacuation for Ballina CBD in place during tropical cyclone Alfred issued by NSW State Emergency Services. 0 out of 0

I had the friendliest checkin experience. Motel is fine, in a quiet street,the rooms have been somewhat renovated. The air-conditioning could have been positioned better, but in general ok for the price.
