4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 29, 2013

We booked here after reading the reviews for one night on our way north. The hotel was nice and comfortable, close to restaurants and a small shopping centre. The rooms were very clean. Car park was a bit tight for our 4wd but we found a spot to fit. Would definitely stay here again.

We arranged our stay with some friends around a month or so before our stay. We booked and paid up front via the Coffs Harbour Information centre, thinking we had the best deal we could get. When we arrived and spoke to the management regarding the price issues that arose after our booking, we got all sorts of excuses and... More

Thank you for your review. I can understand you being disappointed after booking ahead and paying up front through a third party, then discovering on arrival day the tariff advertised was less. Selling rooms online allows accommodation houses to alter rates either up or down and in this instance our rates went down as these school holidays have not been... More

We usually stay here when in Coffs Harbour because of its great location. Most times you need to book because it is a very popular motel. The rooms are nothing outstanding but they are clean and fresh, at least our room was fresh, I think they are doing a refurb. Our room had the deepest bath and I took advantage... More

Thanks so much for your review, I think future guests will find it really helpful. Many of our guests comment on our location near restaurants, safe beaches, walking tracks and shops and the fact we're also off the highway. There are cheaper motels in Coffs but as you say when you take into account location and value we are a... More

Stayed on the way back to Sydney. Pulled in without a reservation and got a room for the night. I ended up with a one bed room situated at the front on the building. There was a little noise in this room, from the traffic ie trucks, this is really only in the morning. If the bathroom window and door... More

Thanks very much for your review. It sounds like you were happy with our great location. Next time you stay you might like to try one of our balcony rooms with sea view, a spa room or perhaps an apartment ? Also now we have our toll free number so everyone can call direct and get the best rates. More
