I stayed here with my partner to break up a long trip and we arrived later than planned and as we approached reception, the lady behind the desk was wonderful. Check in was very quick. We proceeded to our room and were pleasantly surprised with how clean the room was! Yes it is basic, but if you want more, you pay a substantial amount more. Would not hesitate to come back! Only found one small issue, air con was quite noisy, but not a big issue. Bed was comfy and we got a great nights sleep. check out was just as quick which made our overall stay quite enjoyable

I read the previous reviews which were very unimpressive, so phoned the motel and found out that the new managers took over that very day - 2 weeks later we arrived and found the family room to be small, basic and very clean. The kids loved the pool which was also clean with an old but stable overhead shade sail. The managers were friendly and polite - the fan in our family room was not working when we arrived but was repaired by an electrician within a couple of hours (aircon worked well if a little noisy). The Toreador was a good motel to break long journeys and the room was quieter than expected as the motel is located near the main road through Coffs Harbour. The new managers are in the process of bringing the motel up to scratch and have already made a major improvement on the motel's previous condition - I think it's more deserving of the 3 stars now.

This motel does not deserve 3 stars it makes a claim that it is refurbished and modern UNTRUE. Old fraying towels,mould in bathroom, cigarette burns on furniture, curtains dirty and hanging from hooks, sit on the bed and feel wire. Bad News should be bull dozed.

We drove to Gold Coast from Melbourne and I booked to stay 1 night in Coffs Harbour on the way. It was for my wife and 3 kids and yes the motel was dated and small BUT what would you expect for $99 per night. I thought it was a great location, the service was good and you get free internet too which worked quite well. If your thinking of staying for a night or 2 then I would recommend otherwise if it was for more than that I would look at others. Mind you there is so so much to choose from once you do arrive there.
