After dealing with water entering our room from a storm on the first night, the manager upgraded us to another room for the second night. We also received a refund for our accommodation. Needless to say we were totally satisfied with the outcome.

Firstly, check in is 8pm and NOT up to 11.30pm as stated in Wotif site. Tried calling motel number through the wotif app as well as dialling ourselves and phone didn’t ring just made weird sound then hung up on us. Found the night bell, called it twice, very grumpy mgr not impressed with our arrival time told us he shouldn’t be letting us in at this time. Room was hard to find, numbers on doors missing digits, too many negatives about aesthetics to mention Had to ask people at 3:30am to please be quiet as couldn’t sleep with all the noise in courtyard. Woke at 6 to some kind of yelling verbal altercation between a couple with aggressive foul language for at least 5mins. Was concerned with the rabbit Warren layout and dead ends to corridors. Needed a room for sleep which we didn’t get much of. Wouldn’t stay again as we just driving though. Sorry but this is hotel I would never recommend and I’m happy to rough it but not here

The overall impression of the entire property was run down and not very clean with a strong smell of cigarette smoke. However the room itself was clean and spacious and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Expensive for what it is and we wouldn't choose to stay here again sorry.

We found the check in staff incredibly rude and unhelpful. The rooms are basic but clean. The worst part of our stay was the group of individuals drinking in the car park until 5am. We would not recommend this place to anyone.

Classic old school - clean and basic, waiting to house the random travelers and wide eyed tourists- that it is still working hard to overcome the town’s natural disaster that they would not could not have predicted and not knock down and rebuild to a sterile cheap besser block unit complex overpriced with mod cons is a credit to the community of Aussies that get stuff done

Convenient for downtown Lismoee and the base hospital. Refurbished after the flood. But no windows so it seems like a gaol cell! All for $150 per night! And that is cheap for Lismore. Prices are out of control!

Lismore has had a tough time. The hotel has been refurbished. It’s clean. The manager was helpful with directions and the best place to get dinner. I needed to be close to the hospital so it ticked all the boxes. Get behind Lismore businesses.

Nice Stay in Downtown Lismore!
Downtown hotel just a quick walk to the shops and eateries of Lismore. The room was spotless, had a fridge, micro, toaster, and iron. There was a community bbq downstairs by the pool. Small town hospitality was a welcome change to what we are used to - definitely recommend!

The room was really noisy and I didnt get any sleep. This may have been out of the hotels control. However, there were bugs and mould spots on the sheets which was totally unacceptable.
