We stayed overnight while travelling but would definitely stay here again if travelling or holidaying in Ballina. Restaurant menu looked good, reasonable prices. The pool and spa are resort-style. It’s an older property but has been well maintained and updated rooms. Our room was freshly painted and had new curtains and new sofa bed. The bed was really comfortable and good aircon and large TV. Bathroom in good condition but shower could have more pressure but there was a small bath which we loved. Mini bar available, decent size fridge and toaster and kettle. Staff at check in were friendly.
