As our annual vacation falls over the Easter Holidays I always make my bookings around five months in advance to ensure our accomodation. As we specifically needed to stay in Ballina to visit friends on Easter Saturday when I made the booking I was quite happy to pay a deposit, but three weeks before our visit Marlon rang me apologising...

Reading other reviews, we really must say that we experienced a completely different stay to those mentioned. On arrival we found Marlon to be quite blunt but never offensive and we thought he was overall welcoming. Our room was very spacious, clean and we were very satisfied. The signs were very informative and we never had any interference from the... More

Only negative was the grumpy style of the manager and his smoky office. The room was large and clean, actually smelt like disinfectant a bit. We were a bit worried after reading some of the other reviews but these proved to be unfounded. I suspect the owner is sick of problem clients doing the wrong thing; so long as you... More

Very clean and quiet Motel now the road Bypasses Ballina. Welcome Aircon. Undercover parking. Comfy beds Tiny pool which unfortunately was closed when we arrived and again when we left the next morning- unsure why. Close to RSL which is a lovely place to eat. Friendly owner who has been there for a long time.

So many issues: 1. Had to pay an extra $30 on arrival although not really sure why 2. Had to ask the Mannager for my license and credit card back as he left them in his printer (he was too busy telling us his life story and how he had to clean every thing because his wife sacked the cleaner)...

What a harrowing experience, i would not recommend staying at the Centrepoint Motel to my worst enemy. After being awake driving all night, we arrived to our room, which had a distinct smell of a nursing home. At 8am the owner of the motel walked into our room (Without knocking) and woke us for absolutely no reason at all (Very... More

Booked in as a group, manager was quite perplexed re bookings, breakfast provided as promised. I was surprised some guests thought manager was rude but we did see another side to him when he started arguing with some in our party re " cackling" after 2 pm on a Saturday afternoon He was quite offensive when we were in fact...

Party of 19 from Brisbane arrived to "bad attitude" from manager Marlin over bedding, and numbers of people in rooms. (all been agreed on by phone and email previously) and was treated like a fool. The smell of cigarette in office was sickening :( . Breakfast was ordered (at his demand) for 7.15am and at 6.55 knock on door saying... More

As per the previous review, I also had my air conditioner turned off at 10pm. The room got hot and I was forced to use some provided cheap fan or open the windows. Not happy with the value for money. It should not be listed as air condtioned if it only lasts half the night .
