Lismore Bounty Workers Club Motel

Stayed 3 nights for work. Have stayed in many Lismore hotels over recent years and this is the standout. Large comfortable room. Excellent aircon on hot summer nights, large tv that works, excellent wifi, great location next door to the recently reopened club. Excellent cleaning standard - well done cleaning ladies. Was spotless and all towels and consumables refreshed. Fridge, microwave, communal kitchen if you need it, excellent! Only criticism is the curtains don’t block out the very bright external hall lights, so bring an eye shade. Recommend blackout curtains get installed. That aside was very good!

A comfortable motel with very helpful staff. The motel is a bit "tired" but the rooms are spacious, the staff friendly and well located beside the Workers Club. Not too far from the CBD and adjacent to parks and a shopping centre if you're dining in.

I arrived around 2:30 pm to an empty reception. I used the phone on reception to advise of my arrival and still had to wait nearly 5 minutes before anyone showed up. Finally, I got to my room. It seemed decent at first glance—fairly spacious and clean. But I noticed small things were missing: no biscuits to have with coffee, and no complimentary water in the fridge - something numerous other places tend to provide as standard. Then came the air conditioner—buzzing so loudly that it was impossible to leave it on. When I finally got to bed, I found it was rock-hard. To make matters worse, there was a smoke detector directly above me with an obnoxiously flashing green light. Across the room, under the desk, the Wi-Fi power supply had two red lights so bright that I ended up unplugging it just to get some darkness. In the early hours, I woke up to a long hair in my mouth—definitely not mine. Disgusted, I got up and quickly checked the bed, which appeared clean, so I tried to go back to sleep. That didn’t happen, because I was cold, no extra blankets were available in the room. I had no choice but to turn on the noisy air conditioner again. A while later, I felt something tangled in my fingers. I turned on the light, and there it was—another long hair. I pulled back the covers only to find even more hair at the foot of the bed. That was it; I was done. Later in the day I went to find a staff member to discuss the issue, the reception was yet again unmanned. Instead of using that ridiculous phone again, I simply left my key and walked out, forfeiting the second night I had booked. I've selected the rating as 'terrible' due to poor staff availability, and the uncleanliness of the bed this alone will prevent me ever going back.
