My partner reckons this is the best motel we’ve ever stayed in! Plenty of power sockets and in the right places, heaps of storage and surfaces, big bathroom with space to leave three toiletries bags on the sink! Everything worked. Too cold to try the pool, too busy to try the tv or the restaurant. Very convenient for everything Lismore has to offer.
