Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

An excellent stay at this motel. The room was very comfortable and the meal superb - completed by a delicious bonus brownie created by one of the young owners. I thoroughly recommend this motel if you're travelling to the Lismore area you will enjoy it.

I stayed here midweek for work as I was travelling through. The motel is simple, but clean, neat, quiet and a nice easy location in a pretty spot (to the rear). Just what I wanted. The owners were good to deal with also and cooked me these mega Nachos for dinner as I didn’t feel like heading into town.

I enjoyed my stay at this motel. My mate and I traveled from NSW to Queensland from Sydney so we really needed a nice to place relax and rest before a long drive. Room was spacious and bed is comfy. Pay 15 bucks for a really nice breakfast.

On entering room, there was a foul odour. Being extremely tired, I thought I would just turn aircon on and it might clear it up. I needed to lay down and rest my bad back/hip. Had an hour sleep, and on waking I could hardly breathe from the stench.It was an overpowering smell of urine (cat pee maybe). I organised a another motel. As i was leaving the manager asked what was wrong, so told her. She offered to move me to another room,which i accepted.On leaving next day, I was confronted with-"that smell in the room was smoke, do you smoke?" I have not smoked in 18yrs. And if it was me smoking in the room, why would I want to move to another and expose myself?? I cant stand the smell if smoke and I can certainly tell the diff between smoke and PEE. 2nd room smelt better, room was clean, mattress was hard. 1st room stunk, had a small poo on vanity sink (possibly a frog poo)...

I was to stay here for a week in January for a cricket carnival. I booked thru an online booking site in the August prior for a family room and paid in full. In September I receive a phone call from the manager requesting I cancel my booking as the price quoted was 'too cheap' for that time of year and rebook with him at the dearer rate. I told him I had paid in full and I expected him to honour this booking. He refused to do this. This is disgusting that he can run a business like this. Don't book with him, you cannot guarantee that your room will not change price or be available when you arrive.

We stayed here over 3 nights for a Baseball tournament, Is a great location as only few minutes drive to town and was nice to come back to a quiet location after big days. Rooms are older however all very clean, large and free WIFI. Staff very friendly and helpful. We will be back next year. Thanks

It started by us arriving early and seeing a big step up to get to the office. Hadn't we explained clearly enough that we were mobility impaired? We were asked to go back into town and come back later. Yes we were early but the guy was busy trying to get the internet to work and it felt so unwelcoming.
We arrived back at 2 and again felt unwelcomed. We opened the door to our room and the first thing we noticed was the bug spray on the sill! It went downhill from there.
The very small shower and the step into the cubicle was daunting. Hadn't we explained clearly enough that we were mobility impaired?!
We asked if we could use our Best Western card but the internet was still down so no points.
I'm really sorry but I can't recommend this place.

Response from vivienne1953, Owner at Lakeside Lodge Motel
Responded 5 Nov 2014
Dear Su, I am sorry that you feel you had an unpleasant stay at our motel. We do have a lot of people who are mobility impaired staying here, the step to the office and the step into the shower are of a normal height, if you had advised us of the extent of your mobility impairment, specifically no steps at all, we would have suggested a motel with wheelchair access ie no steps. Unfortunately when you came to check in at 11.00am the rooms were not ready as we had been full up the night before and check in is at 2.00pm. The fly spray is in the room for the guests convenience in case a fly or mosquito gets into the room. If the "guy" at reception came across as unwelcoming I am very sorry he normally gets great reviews for his friendliness.

The room was pleasant, clean and well set out, with room for luggage. It overlooked the lake to the back which was peaceful. (I think all rooms overlook the lake). Although, on venturing to the lake, there was some litter which detracted a little from the outdoor experience. Whilst the hotel does have a Bruxner Highway address, noise was not a problem and we slept well. The hotel is conveniently located - only a short drive in to the centre of Lismore. We found it a lot better than the last place we stayed at in Lismore and would stay here again.

Nice relaxing stay, just out of town, lovely overlooking the lake, with rural outlook and good that it is close to airport.

We stayed one night here in August 2019. The room was very large and clean; the bathroom even had a bathtub (which most motels don't). Clean, comfortable bed, welcoming owner, great value. Recommended.

Hi, Going by the layout of the building, my thoughts are that they don't. But I may be wrong so I would check with the manager.
