Guest Reviews
- Paul (10/5): - Great service, very welcoming
- Verified traveler (4/5): - WiFi was useless. Room was shabby, could use new carpets and sofa.
- G (8/5): High quality styling, but disappointing upkeep - The property had high quality styling both externally and internally to the rooms. Unfortunately, this high quality styling was not matched by the maintenance. Water stains evident in the ceiling and patching thereof did not match the quality of the remainder of the property. Additionally, the air conditioner unit was not sufficiently powerful for the rooms.
- Olwen (10/5): - Nice atmosphere. Neat, modern and clean, friendly staff, walking distance to small shop
- Piyali (10/5): - Really loved the motel and all the amenities it came with..people taking care of the property was very helpful.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Front desk was very accommodating.
- bruce (10/5): - Our room was very clean and comfortable with ceiling fans and air conditioning and had been renovated recently. The owner was very welcoming and we felt very comfortable. The nearby pub/bistro he recommended was excellent. Only minor gripe was the patchy internet reception. We felt the owners were trying very hard to make our stay a pleasant one.

The manager was very friendly, we like that place.
- Venkatnarayanan (10/5): - I waa not expecting much as it is a motel, bit the way it is maintained as spotless walls, clean bed & linen and clean ameneties. It is a good one for a shoet or long stay as well. The reception staff michelle was very friendly. I liked the lodge.
- Louisa (10/5): - The receptionist was probably the most friendliest and most helpful of people I have come across in my travels.
Very clean and great value for money
- Glen (10/5): - The service at the Grafton Lodge Motel is second to none and the room is great for a relaxing evening. Will definitely be staying here again.
- Elizabeth (8/5): - It was convenient for me as I just needed to rest overnight on my way to QLD. My room was clean but could do with a new mattress and the bathroom and kitchen could do with a makeover. The windows have flimsy fly screens so for safety I needed to shut the windows, I would prefer some fresh air, perhaps new crimsafe type screens would be good. The pool looked lovely but it was a bit cold for a swim. On the whole and for the price it was an ok motel.
- Robert (10/5): - Well appointed, friendly staff, like home and a very nice apartment.
- Wendy (8/5): - Good location but a bit noisy
- Viv (10/5): - Close to facilities which made our stay relaxing.

- MA TRINIDAD (10/5): - I like the design of the property - homey. Staff, Michelle, was really nice and accommodating.
I don't like the sounds of passing trucks at night.

- Adam (10/5): - Checking in was quick and easy. Michelle was lovely.
- Petra (10/5): - As we stepped into our room we felt welcomed, very tastefully decorated, clean and comfortable. The wonderful thing was that we had a separate bedroom, also a lounge and kitchenette (no cooking facilities though). David and Michelle were very approachable, friendly and helpful. The motel is on a busy road, but the traffic died down quite a bit at night. Would stay there again.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Staff were certainly very friendly and courteous. Bed was exceptionally comfortable but the cold water tap in kitchenette did not work at all and bathroom cold water gave me enough to wash hands twice then quit working as well. Not sure if it was related to reconstruction around the place.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Michelle checked us in and escorted us to our room. She was very professional, exceptionally friendly, and very knowledgeable. The place was exceeded my expectations for a motel, it was very comfortable and very spacious. Well decorated, clean, close to everything.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice stay, clean and quite. Aircon was a bit noisy
- Josh (10/5): - This place is amazing, only stayed a short time however everything was clean and tidy, well presented and it felt very homely and comfortable. David and Michelle are very welcoming and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again 10/10
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Access from southbound highway scary!!Property OK.

The motel is easy to find.
Room is spacious and clean
Daily room service
- Verified traveler (10/5): - From the moment I got to the property I was impressed with how well presented and clean it was. I was very impressed by the customer service and friendly greeting I received. The flexibility of the staff and willingness to make our stay as pleasant as they could was wonderful.
I was so impressed by the room, it was more comfortable and clean than a lot of rooms I’ve stayed in in the city and spent a lot more to stay in.
10/10 all around and i intend to stay here again if ever in Grafton.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The propertry is well kept. It seemed the airconditionier in the next room was a tad noisy, but all in all was a great place to say.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Well presented, large and comfortable rooms offering good value for money
- Gabi (10/5): - Nice clean motel at a good price and good location.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The place was clean, great size. Everyone was was friendly and nice. Out of town a wee bit, but good. I’m staying again on the way home.
- William (2/5): - Terrible managers sarcastic and unhelpful. The reason motels such as this one exist is to provide accommodation to visitors and travellers. The attitude of the managers is so unprofessional and condescending it is a wonder they are in this business. I would discourage anyone from staying in this motel.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - A great find for a much needed stopover in Grafton. The service was exceptional - the room amazing. I would definitely recommend
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice decor, good location, but next to road with lots of noisy trucks
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent, stayed here on my way back from Queensland and staff and room was great
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Even though it was on the Pacific Hwy it had 2 lovely outdoor areas which had comfortable outdoor furniture. The room was tastefully furnished and decorated. Good value for money
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Easy to find
Friendly staff great convenient place to stop for the night
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The Motel is very clean, well maintained, comfortable bed, and friendly, helpful management.
- Bec (10/5): - Arrived with a headache after a long drive from Goulburn, to be offered panadol by the lovely nam at check in.
The 'motel' room was almost a mini-apartment, with a small kitchen, separate bedroom and bathroom. It was nice to be able to sit in 'lounge' and watch tv, and unwind before bed.
- Abe (10/5): - it was clean and quiet. Room was niiiiiiiiiiice
I would go back
- Diana (4/5): - The motel was located on a highway and very hard to find because the listing has the wrong address. It is a basic motel apartment in reasonable condition but had a terrible, overwhelming smell. Likely from the cleaners they used. Although there is a kitchen, it is not equipped well enough to cook in. The lighting is also terrible.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The room was extremely clean. We were woken at 2am by a train using the horn as it went past. There is virtually no water pressure in the shower and the water went cold if someone else was using the shower in other rooms
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Spacious rooms. Comfortable and homey. Beautiful touches to detail. Gorgeous furniture. Adequate kitchenette. Very clean. Excellent value. Easy parking.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - A little bit of road noise but great facility, staff and service
- thomas (10/5): Look no further - Above average motel was great to have a comfortable lounge and sitting area. Very friendly people running the place cannot recommend highly enough
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Perfect stop between Sydney and Brisbane. Rooms are clean and comfortable.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - lean room comfitable.
The only problem and nothing can be done about, It was close to the main road and there were a lot of trucks during the night did not get much sleep
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very clean, comfortable and well presented room. Would definitely stay there again.
- Kathy (10/5): - Recently renovated large rooms. Staff members are really friendly. Would come back again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely rooms, friendly and helpful staff conveniently located.
- Eva (10/5): Best place to stay in Grafton - Everything was above expectations from the very friendly reception to the immaculately clean room which was a whole suite with living room, dining area, kitchen (microwave) separate bedroom and bathroom. The room was very tastefully furnished and decorated, the bed very comfortable. Outside there are cosy seating areas surrounded by plants, there is a pool too.By far the best place to stay in Grafton that I now of.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Do you think a highway motel sounds dodgy? Think again. We booked here due to unavailability elsewhere at this time of year. Top level service, top level room and a comfortable bed. If we come back through Grafton there will be no where else on our accomodation list. Thank you so much. 5 out of 5 stars.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Hotel on main road,the room was much better and bigger than I was expecting.

- Joanna (6/5): - Nice hotel with good facilities in a good location, but train rumbling early in the morning disturbed the sleep.
- Alexandria (10/5): Perfect, renovated, clean, comfortable - It was perfect, better than I expected for a lodge motel I would rate 5 star as it is clean, looks just like the photos and the bed is comfortable it was a pleasant surprise it went above my expectations and the staff were so lovely even though I was late Upon check in the poor man was so tired yet didn’t make me feel unwelcome or like a burden, very pleased and would stay again
