According to a list at the Information Centre, all the Lismore Motels are between three and four stars. I don't know how these ratings are determined, but reflecting on our NSW travel experience I would say our room here is two star. The room has a Queen bed and a single, a round table with one chair, a small desk... More

Stayed here in April after consulting Trip Advisor and found it to be spot-on as expected. We dined in house with friends and the food was quite good overall and facilitated having a few wines without needing taxi service. Pool, bbq and wi-fi topped it off.

I have stayed in too many motels to count and generally they are okay. This motels stands out because it attends to the little personal touches which others overlook e.g. how many motels have large water boling jugs which will not fit under the tap in the bathroom?.. not this one, they have supplied jugs which can be filled from...

This is a clean , well positioned motel in Lismore. The owners are very helpful with everything and can offer suggestions for touring around the area. This is not an upmarket hotel but doesn't pretend to be. Its a 'family style' old fashioned motel which is quite adequate, clean & friendly. We got a 'seniors' package which was great value.... More

Our softball team stayed at the Dawson hotel in November 2012. What lovely service and friendly owners. They really went out of their way to provide a wonderful experience for the whole team. Thank you so much, we would love to stay again anytime.
