What guests think

At Heritage River Motor Inn, travellers repeatedly praise spotless, comfortable rooms and a convenient location for stopovers or visits to Grafton, with many highlighting modern renovations, a garden setting and clean pool, plus parking close to rooms.

Several appreciate spacious family and accessible rooms with comfortable beds and well-fitted bathrooms. Common niggles include limited in-room cooking setups described as a microwave-only 'kitchenette' and dated TVs or lack of streaming; a few mention small rooms or occasional noise.

Stayed at the Heritage River Motor Inn on our trip from Sydney with my mother and daughter, and were extremely impressed. I am always skeptical of staying at motels, however, the room was immaculate and extremely spacious. Even the pool, which is surrounded by trees, was lovely and clean. Very nice to relax in on a 36 degree day. On top of that, we had a bunch of issue's leading up to our stay, no fault of the establishment, and Fred in management could not be more accomodating. It just made our experience that much more pleasant. Would stay here again in a heart beat.

Great location for travelling. The reception was pleasant and friendly on arrival and also on checkout. Our room was very clean. The bed was medium firm and comfortable. There was plenty of hot water for the shower and it was nice to have a plug for the bathroom sink which reduces water usage when shaving. There was also 2 complimentary bottles of water cold in the fridge on arrival, which made a nice touch. There is also a small group of shops 100 metres away which include a supermarket, liquor and pizza shop etc.

The standard room was clean however, very small and not the 40sq m stated. The ‘kitchen’ did not have crockery, only cups and a microwave and kettle. The bathroom was very tiny and noisey fan. The room was in an old house which was really more hotel/hostel accommodation and you could hear people in other rooms and walking in corridor at night. We were disappointed and the room was certainly like portrayed in the photos.

Well situated with a short drive to the cbd. The motel is on the South side of the river whilst most other accommodation is on the north. Still it was an easy drive to get anywhere in the city. We had a family room which was a 2 bedroom with 5 beds in all. Very good value. The room smelt a bit due to wet carpet around the windows. No window in the bathroom. Could get a bit smelly.

Unfortunately, our experience began on a negative note due to the receptionist’s behaviour.The receptionist was rude from the start and did not treat us properly. Her attitude was unprofessional and unwelcoming, which negatively impacted our overall experience at the hotel.
