New owners since I last stopped there. Pleasant and friendly. The place is super clean and comfortable. Was impressed that they have EV charging stations available. Early check-in allowed me time to walk up to the commercial part of town, which is delightful The new owners are obviously slowly updating some areas
The hot water tap in the bathroom did not work, and the shower fittings need updating.. Still no power points near the beds, which is annoying l. Minor irritations

Great location, very comfortable room and bed. The fact that the Manager/owner was willing to open our room & turn on aircon, knowing we would arrive after office was closed. It is a great stopping off point on our trip to Brisbane. There is a swimming pool which other members of our family made use of. Situated right next to the Magnificent Clarence River, and a short walk to the shops & hotels/clubs.
What's not to like?

Lovely motel. Not new or top notch facilities but sufficient for very comfortable overnight stay as a stop/rest for our long drive and quick visit to Yamba. Lots of information supplied about local areas and things of interest if visiting the area. Can tell owners and staff take care and pride in the place. Accommodated our late check in easily.
Room was clean enough but fridge still had food scraps and expired milk. Not a big deal.

The motel was immaculately presented. New bathroom, good a/c. Nice outdoor area. While an older style motel, the managers are taking great pride in providing a restful experience. They were friendly and very keen to assist in any way. I’d highly recommend this. It’s a short and easy walk into town too for dinner and a wander.
The double room was small but that’s the way they were built back then. Nothing that needed addressing.

Location of accommodation just off the motorway. Close to petrol station and food/pub minutes away. Loved the river running along the accommodation. Accommodation does have a pool but the weather was too cold to use this time around.
Not much to complain about. Accommodation is used by workers so it can be a little noisy.

We have been staying here for many years as part of our holiday journey. We have every reason to continue to do so.
Can be noisy if groups of workers are staying also, on a previous stay. The owners have assured us that they will encourage these groups to congregate away from the Motel; after 10pm. We are happy with this assurance.

The location was good for an overnight stay between Sydney and the Sunshine Coast. The motel looked as if it had had an ungrade since we last stayed there but perhaps it was just the first time we had stayed in Room 1. The room has everything we need.
It was extremely noisy from road traffic throughout the night. A sound barrier between the room and the street might help. We will return but not to this room because of the noise factor. Rooms 3 and 4 were quiet on previous visits as they are insulated by the other rooms.

The location is right next to the Clarence river and 10 minute walk into Maclean shopping area. The motel pool was c;lean and the water warm. Hotel offered many EV chargers. There was a price to use of $20 for the duration of the stay (overnight), and I was happy with that.
I found the Motel as expected. Nothing that I didn't like.

The room was cozy, the location was just by the river and was so quiet and relaxing. It was just outside of town so you could walk in to get dinner at the pub or stroll by the riverbank, and this was just making my short stay better and better.
There was a moth and a tiny spider in the bathroom, but I guess they kept me company since I was alone

Room was very clean, well maintained and extra snacks and drinks available if you didn't feel like leaving your room. Close to the shopping centre for groceries and service station for fuel etc. Nice view of the Clarence river and easy parking.
Only thing was when showering the water temperature changed quickly but can happen anywhere when taps in other rooms are turned on and off. Also the bed moved forward when sitting up leaning against the bedhead when reading.
