Guest Reviews

- Margaret (10/5): - Clean comfortable room, close to shopping centre and nain street Nothing.
- gregjenks (10/5): It was the perfect place for us on this trip - Comfortable and very up Tod ate (recently renovated, I think). Location adjacent to the cathedral was perfect for us. Everything was fine
- alison (8/5): Great - The tiled entrance and the freshly tiled walls and general fresh look Do we need doonas in Summer?
- Jack (10/5): -
- Leigh (7/5): -
- ramp (9/5): great overnight stay - clean and comfortable the cost for 1 night..realising demand cuases higher cost but to me it was ridiculous
- Fang (8/5): -
- Hampton (8/5): -
- Nic (8/5): Over night stay for sport. Central. Comfortable. Renovated inside. Air con was cool on a hot day. - Modern and reasonably clean Hot water was inconsistent in shower
- Jeanette (9/5): Relaxing break - Location and only ground floor rooms which is good when your older. Shopping centre opposite. Food and dinning only 2/5 mins away. Room was lovely very modern and tastefully decorated. Bed was comfy a bit soft but slept well. Would stay again. TV control would not work. Office was unattended so after dinner got new batteries at local coles and fixed it. Apart from that nothing else to complain about.
- Mark (5/5): - poor bed, only 2 pillows
- Trip11588442545 (10/5): Excellent I would go back there any time in the future - It was Wednesday the 15th of October 20/25, my husband & myself were trying to find a motel to stay late that afternoon my friend had rang up 3 & all gone except the Abbey, & Grant the manger give me a chance to do a very late check in not only that he let us get the keys after a late lock up, he was such accommodating man who knew we were caught at Grafton Base & never got bk to the Motel till 11 am that night be plus got a late check out at 11.30am the next morning due to us going bk to Grafton hospital, I can never thank Grant enough for what he did for us that night, it was no hassle to Grant what so ever as he was just kind of gentlemen you could actually see he cared the next morning when I meet him, Grant all I can still say today is thank you kindly for all the support & kindness you gave me & my husband that night just knowing we had somewhere to stay that late at night, the next morning you even knocked at door to make sure we were both doing as good as possible, you actually
gave me support kindness plus listened to me with any judgment & comfort as you could see I was having a difficult time, as my husband who was very sick that night, all I can say to Grant the manager of the Abbey motel Grafton is huge thank you so very much for how you helped us out without any questions that night, one again thank you kindly Grant I would highly tell people to stay there anytime Janice

- shafiqul (10/5): -
- Brianna (7/5): - The design the easy straightforward The advertised room was not what I expected
- Lesley (3/5): It appears the owners did not want to have any personal contact with their guests - Was close to town and places to eat Property was noisy from other guests leaving early in the morning, bathroom shower leaked over the floor, room was not serviced unless you stayed for 4 or more nights, rainbow lorikeets started squawking at 5:30am. Had to use our towels to mop up bathroom floor and then go to reception and ask for more towels, reception only open from 8 am till 4 pm.
- David (10/5): - Well located in Grafton, the room was stylish and large. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. The bathroom was large, very clean and well appointed. The room faced onto the road but this didn't matter as there was double glazing so traffic noise was not noticed at all. This is my go-to accommodation in Grafton from now on.
- Michael (9/5): an overnighter whilst returning home, great night's sleep. - very spacious room. particularly liked the comfortable lounge facing the TV. Very well appointed kitchenette area.
Checking in and out, was a very straightforward affair. Was only a 1-night stay but if ever in Grafton again ... know where I'm heading.
- Darren (10/5): - Awesome accomodation everything was perfect 5 STAR
- Michael (10/5): - Easy check in very clean and a spacious room with a large smart tv
- Geoff (10/5): - Great facilities, centrally located.
Costs affordable
- Sharon (9/5): -
- Justin (8/5): - Property was very good.
Let down was the Essential Energy people drinking & yabbering on from 11.30pm til 12.30pm in the common area.
No regard for other guests.
Kept us awake & put a dampener on our stay, particularly when we had a 12hr drive the next day.
- Marilyn (8/5): - Nice place to stay, staff and locals very helpful.
- gillianvshurley (2/5): Don’t stay here if you want a safe good nights sleep - I always stay here when I am in Grafton but never again. A number of hi vis workers were also staying at the motel. They get together at the bbq area of the motel which is in close proximity to the rooms, talking, swearing and drinking continued until 11.30pm. I had to words to them to try to keep it down at 8.30pm they did apologise but it continued until 11.30pm then one of the group thought it would be good to bash loudly on my door at 11.30pm. As a woman by myself on a business trip this was very scary. Complaints to the off site manager go barely a response. I guess this is due to the ongoing permanent booking by the company employing these clowns who had no respect for anyone let alone themselves.
- Sharon (10/5): Lovely peaceful place to stay. - Clean and tidy, well laid out, great tv very comfortable bed. Nothing
- Sandra (9/5): Great - Great location for theatre

Great location
- Vanessa (9/5): Perfectly comfortable and quiet for an overnight stop. - It was exceptionally clean and tidy. Only tubes of conditioning shampoo provided instead of dispensers.
- Jeanne (10/5): - Would stay again
- Marco (10/5): - I would stay here again. Very clean and the room is in an excellent condition.
The rooms has everything you need
- Ruth (10/5): Excellent stay - Contactless check-in was such a quick and easy process. We booked the downstairs deluxe room so parking was right at our door which we wanted. Simple and easy check-out was also contactless. Excellent place to stay and right over the road from a major shopping centre yet it was a quiet motel.
- Melissa (9/5): Superb -
- Gregory (10/5): Exceptional -
- Peter (9/5): Short, convenient, comfortable - Clean, good location, easy late entry. Impractical shower design!! Water seeped under the shower door out onto the floor….quite a large volume. However, the shower pressure was good, bathroom was clean.
- john (10/5): - How quiet it was and close to the food outlets
- CocoTampa123 (8/5): Greta stay - Great location, right in the middle of town. Very good parking right outside of accommodation. Strange office open hours 8am to 4pm, so if checking in after 4pm, you are sent a message on yr phone to access lock box.
Very clean and quiet.
Definitely book direct with venue, far cheaper than going through booking sites.
- Eric (8/5): Very good -
- Joanne (9/5): Superb -
- Brian (10/5): - Quiet, close to everything within walking distance!
Freshly presented and modern
- Martyn (6/5): - We arrived mid afternoon on a Friday and reception was closed. We rang the number on the door, which didn't connect and had to rely on another guest for a mobile number to get access to the key safe. No apology, claimed they didn't have our details to contact us as we'd booked through hotels.com. When reception was manned, staff very helpful. The limited hours of reception seem at odds with a typical motel. Very limited storage space
- Nicole (8/5): Very good -
- Dom (8/5): Short and worth the trip and money. Would definitely recommend and come back again if I’m ever in the area. 10/10 - How modern the room looked. Some motels don’t generally have Netflix features so it was a bonus for my siblings that like to chill and watch movies. The motel is close to everything which was a bonus! Expected it to be clean as we left for a wedding and left the sign at our door, got back and it was still the same. Can’t complain though because it was worth staying here!
- Sandra (7/5): see above - The hair dryer in room 22 is sticky to hold. Seems like the plastic outer is breaking down.
The fire alarm went off around 6.30 - 7.00pm, and after 10 mins of no action we called the after hours number. If no management lives onsite, we would think it should be a "back- to- base" to the fire station. This would mean a higher level of safety for patrons, and potential fire damage to the motel would be considerably less!
Also, my wife inadvertantly opened room 21 with our room key (being room 22) NOT GOOD - POOR SECURITY.
These are genuine concerns that we hold and believe the proprietors should seriously consider our constructive criticisms.
- Kevin (8/5): Perfect -
- Tina (9/5): Great location, clean, comfortable & quiet. I’d stay again. -
- David (8/5): Very good -
- Ian (10/5): - Very clean and uncomplicated. Very happy.
- Jadey (10/5): Exceptional -
- Roger (10/5): Clean, comfortable and convenient. - Centrally located and very clean. Zero personal interaction with staff but communication good, so no problem.
- Timothy (9/5): Superb -
- Sarah (10/5): Exceptional - Across the road from shopping centre and lots of close places to eat.
- Prue (8/5): Very good - Clean and central No pool
- Michelle (8/5): Very good -
- Michelle (8/5): Very good -
- Tripoussis (9/5): Superb -
- Jo (9/5): Grafton Goodie - Clean, check.in, location Only a microwave to cook with
- Deborah (9/5): Superb -
- nanna552013 (8/5): A lovely surprise - This motor in ticked all the boxes. Comfortable, well appointed rooms, good TV, windows that can open with security screens, and not overly perfumed. Unfortunately, Grafton had a water outage overnight and we had no water in the morning, so no showers etc. Would definitely stay here again.
- Leigh (10/5): - ,,, great place

- Sally (10/5): - Very clean. Comfortable.
Extremely well fitted out kitchen.
- Lilian (10/5): Definitely and highly recommend - Fabulous renovations. Beautiful good sized room, great bathroom, right opposite shopping centre. Comfy bed. We used the after hours safe to check in with absolutely no problems. Self parking worked out ok for us, maybe not so for others. Overall, right up there with the best we’ve stayed in. Definitely and highly recommend.
- Sarah (9/5): Superb -
- Andrew (8/5): Very good -
- Colleen (7/5): Good -
