Why would you take after hours bookings if you can't check in after hours. You leave people stranded with nowhere to go at night

Unfortunately 2 out of 3 of us contacted covid and unwell so to be safe we decided to not attend and infect others. Called the office to let them know and they encouraged us to come still. However decided it was best we didn't.

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.
