No meal service or bar service on a Sunday evening, and hotel is away from any other amenities
We use this hotel as a base for exploring the surrounding area. Everywhere we visited was an hour or so away. It was reasonably priced, although breakfast wasn't included. All the staff were encountered were genuinely friendly and helpful. Despite the weather being bad we didn't mind spending the extra time at the hotel as our room was warm, spacious and comfortable.
The WiFi signal isn't the best and couldn't be realied upon by someone who is very digitally dependant.
Efforts have been made to made to maintain the hotel but there are a few areas that are the worse for wear but a bit of tlc would go a long way to update it.

No frills. Basic.
Super basic. Shirt drive into town. Convenient option on wild Atlantic way trip. No frills.
Wasn't expecting too much, but it was very pleasant, only a few minutes walk back into Ballina and a very nice breakfast. Easy parking as well which isn't the case with some other hotels locally.
Was a bit apprehensive, stay booked last minute, so wasn't sure what to expect. Hotel OK looking, a little bit dated. Restaurant and bar area is pretty nice. The food, breakfast and dinner, was very good. The bedroom was basic but fine. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
Enjoyable stay, friendly helpful staff, hassle free check in, great breakfast

Basic hotel, no frills but adequate for a one night business stay. Wouldn’t return for pleasure. Didn’t use the restaurant for diner and breakfast didn’t start until 8am so not able to comment on food.
