−If you wanted an early night it could be a bit noisy because it is right in the heart of the action.

“Great location but will not stay here again.”
+The location was terrific. Right on the beach and close to everything.
−Super noisy, the motel has a back lane that has restaurants in it so it is very busy and noisy and the garbage trucks came both mornings, several times in fact not just once, from about 5am onwards. The rooms are not quiet, the windows were closed but the noise we heard was like all windows were open ie. they must not seal properly. The published photos are quite deceiving and a bit cheeky, the rooms look so generous and lovely but are actually not quite like that in real life. The photos are of the room but, the way they are taken, the lighting used and the staging give it a lot more appealing aesthetic and spacious feeling then it actually is. The room was so noisy, we could hear people talking till all hours of the night and could hear the people next to us too. It wasn't pleasant.

+Incredible location. Spotlessly clean. The staff are welcoming, happy to help, and go above and beyond.
−It didn't bother me, but this is located in a nightlife precinct, so it is noisy. Not a bad thing for me personally though. Only thing I could possibly fault is no laundry on site. So if that's important, check for Laundromat nearby.

“Byron CBD.”
+The motel is one door from the Beach Hotel and across the road from the beach. You cannot find a closer CBD location. The motel has been renovated since I last stayed. Secure car parking. Great value for Byron Bay where most prices for everything are insane.
−Because you are near restaurants etc early morning bin emptying is the price you pay. Not the motel’s fault. Roll over or go for a sunrise swim.
