City Lights Motel

“Not the Ritz but a basic Aussie motel good for a night”

I saw some very negative reviews but wonder if the reviewers were expecting a 5 Star resort hotel. It's a basic motel for sure - but it is clean; reasonably spacious room (for family of 4 adults); plenty of parking; a/c, toilet and shower worked; beds quite comfortable; not noisy and not expensive… lisää

It's a basic motel for sure - but it is clean; reasonably spacious room (for family of 4 adults); plenty of parking; a/c, toilet and shower worked; beds quite comfortable; not noisy and not expensive. The owner has evidently done some renovations and the bathroom could do with same - but it was still ok. Only real issue but fairly minor, was that the lighting was not bright enough - suggest higher watt globes and all white interior.

“Comfortable and Clean”

Nice clean room, good size queen bed with a single in room. Room was very spacious and had everything we needed such as tea, coffee, biscuits, hairdryer.

Nice clean room, good size queen bed with a single in room. Room was very spacious and had everything we needed such as tea, coffee, biscuits, hairdryer. Nice touch was the real milk in a bottle in the fridge. Ample parking. The rooms are upstairs and downstairs, we had upstairs, not too difficult to lug heavy bags up. Located on a main street with a lot of other motels nearby but no traffic noise that we could hear. Bed was comfortable, nice to have extra pillows, shower was good. Quite close to the Tweed Heads Shopping Mall. Was a nice place to stay for a couple of nights.

We stayed from Friday to Sunday and we had no hot water for 2 days. The owner / manager was contacted to get the matter resolved only to be told nothing was going to be done. When I questioned why he was not organising an emergency plumber to fix the hot water due to the fact that it is an essential service to provide, his response was "I've checked it and it looks fine. We will get a plumber on Tuesday (as Monday was a public holiday)". The whole complex was out of water for those 2 days and possibly longer (we left Sunday morning). No compensation / refund was offered. The pool was also closed as it was due to be cleaned but this was not communicated prior to our stay. Ignoring the above and the fact that the rooms are quite dated - the accommodation was relatively good for what you pay. The beds were comfortable, plenty of pillows were supplied, good size fridge and plenty of on-site parking. The location is only 3km from Coolangatta so an easy 30 minute walk.

“Good "last minute find" when everywhere else seems booked up”

The only thing I can fault here,the shower took ages to heat up & the water pressure wasn't good/took longer too!! The tiolettries & hair dryer in the bathroom probably make up for it though. Room spacious & good quality beds. Decent size fridge & thankfully freezer also.
