- malcolm (8/5): - Exceptionally clean, well decorated and comfortable
Friendly helpful staff.
Well equipped communal kitchen if you wanted to use it.
BBQ in the garden area, along with a nice seating area.
Easy parking.
All done to a good standard. Noise from the road is bearable and quietened down in the evening.
Noise from neighbours didn’t, kids yelling, doors slamming, not much the motel can do about this, more people being more respectful of neighbours.
- JACQUI (9/5): - Lovely clean room and a comfy bed. The staff were friendly and welcoming.
- ashleigh (7/5): Very comfortable accommodation - Modern and comfortable Nothing
- Chelsea (9/5): Convenient stay with vintage charm - Bright, clean and renovated rooms. Rooms were well appointed; pool towels provided. Friendly staff. Communal kitchen was handy. Nothing.

- Shay (10/5): Quirky and cool - Very cool place to stay with a lovely little pool on the edge of town. The rooms are always exceptionally clean and the housekeeping staff are lovely. There is nothing bad about the Cubana Ballina
- Brenda (9/5): A nice place to stay - I liked this place. The room was large with a comfortable 2 seater lounge, microwave and toaster, with plates and cutlery. I loved the pool area although it had been raining so all the chairs were wet. There is a lovely big grassy area outside the pool with deck chairs and a BBQ area. Apparently there is a communal kitchen, and a laundry but we didn't use either. Sadly we were only there for 1 night. It was right on the main road. I didn't notice it when in the room, only when I opened the door. So only a very small negative, and only because I like to read outside.
- Tina (9/5): Enjoyed a really good nights rest in a comfortable setting - Super hip, but super comfortable The vibe
- karen (10/5): - Very clean and cosy. Staff very accommodating as We booked just b4 office closing to get a late check-in

- Konrad (10/5): - One of the best motels I've stayed at. Great location, easily reacha ke from the motorway, but at the same qhiet. Close to cafes and restaurants.

Het personeels waren allemaal aardig, behulpzaam en ook zorgzaam.
Ik was vroeg rond 08:30u s'morgen aangekomen en was nog dicht. Gelukkig waren er 2 lieve en aardige dames (personeel) al aanwezig. Ze hebben mij zo lief en zorgzaam ontvangen en ik mocht in de algemene ruimte zelf koffie of thee zette. Het was een super warme gastvrije ontvangst.

Great location Hot water was so slow

- RMC (9/5): Clean and comfortable. - Spotlessly clean. Comfy and modern. I appreciated the inclusion of face washers!
It was lovely to have a lounge in the room too. Complimentary biscuits to go with the provided quality tea would have been welcome.
Freezer space in the mini fridge would have been good.
- Lhou (6/5): - I like the location and the rooms look like it has been newly renovated. The aircon was leeking! I told the reception and all he did was give me a towel. The floor was soaking and I ended up putting bucket under the aircon which was made it so annoying due to the dripping sound all night.
- Scott (8/5): Easy to find and within walking distance to a number of dining options. - Easy after hours check in. Clean room with comfy bed and great shower.
- Courtney (9/5): Comfortable, dry, safe accommodation on reasonable budget - Staff were friendly upon arrival, even sending me out-of-hours check-in details in case I arrived after Reception had closed, the property was clean and an ample size for my single overnight stay (it woud've been fine for a couple of nights if I'd needed it), location was easy and just outside of the town centre. I have stayed at this property before and will stay here again.
