Find the Cheap Upper Orara Hotels

For the price I paid, the room was huge! The balcony was also a surprise bonus. I sort of expected the traffic to be heard in the night, being located on the highway but I was able to sleep comfortably without being disturbed, and I am a light sleeper. I don't think the room needed any upgrade, it was fine the way it was. The only request I would like to make is to offer breakfast so that patrons don't have to drive out of the motel if only to get breakfast. That said, it's good that there is a toaster available for toasty brekkies. 😀 The staff are also very lovely, friendly, and helpful!

AVOID AVOID AVOID!!! Dodgy, dirty and untrustworthy! but if you must stay here...Do NOT...under any circumstance...let these people record your credit card details when booking over the phone. Alarm bells should have rung at time of booking when prices kept changing. *********** was far cheaper than booking direct with the motel. Arrived and was charged $205 for the room. Asked if this was correct as was told $230 via email. The girl at reception said...”oh I dunno, I suppose”. So I paid and I said i didn't want anything more charged to our card that they had recorded upon booking over the phone (as I'd read previous reviews warning about this). Drove around to our room passing overflowing bins of dirty linen outside rooms and rubbish laying everywhere (reminded me of something out of the movies.. we should've left at this point but anyway). When we checked into the room, it was different to what we asked for but didn't see the point of questioning it as reception had been so indecisive and vague. After arrival, we used the laundry. It was full of sheets and towels for rooms. Thought it was odd we were allowed around all of this. 1hr later, i noticed a $10 fee charged to our card, when I questioned reception, was told it was for laundry. I was fine with being charged, but I'd previously asked for charges NOT to be put to our card and that i would pay cash. Asked AGAIN for NOTHING more to be charged to that card. Whilst doing laundry, the power tripped and reception said 'oh just go to the box and flick a few things, I dunno (more vagueness). Not a, ”let me fix it for you, or let me call my boss”.. .just vague and shrugging of shoulders. She just directed us to a power box that had live connections...no trip switches. Touching this would be very dangerous. Cannot believe she asked us to do this to be honest. Advised reception again the power was still off (our clothes were mid cycle in the machine) but just received more vagueness. She walked to a cupboard in reception and opened it up and asked me to look at it, where she proceeded to want to 'flick random switches', even asking me to do it!!! I said...'you probably dont want to do that, it'll turn power off to the whole place'. She then just told us to flick more switches in the laundry and move cords as much as we liked to try to get it all working...what the actual heck???? Despite all this....the next day after we checked out and were driving to our next destination, i noticed ANOTHER charge on our credit card. They had the hide to charge our card again... A THIRD TIME...this time it was for extra for the room where they had stuffed up the price. When I questioned them via email regarding the charge (as speaking on the phone was no use as reception's English was not clear enough to understand)...I got radio silence, for hours. That was until I gave up on receiving a reply, and said I would leave a detailed review instead and that I had blocked our card. All of a sudden, I received a reply and

Room was comfortable and clean. The walk to get dinner in the evening was not easy given the terrain and it is on a busy road, but the is a hotel certainly within walking distance..... best to walk back before it get dark

The room is large and the bedding is very comfortable. Hygiene is also good. The triple apartment is a small independent villa with a large balcony and a garage. Fully equipped with microwave, refrigerator, oven, dishwasher and washing machine, it is very suitable for a family trip. Service: The front desk was very enthusiastic and patient. Check-in went smoothly. When checking out, they saw me sitting in the lobby and asked me if I wanted a cup of coffee.

For a motor side inn, this was very good. Although close to the Pacific Highway, once we were inside our room, we could hear very little road noise. Our room was tidy, dark, had a comfortable bed and was well equipped (including a microwave). The shower was hot and powerful. Vanessa, on reception, was very helpful (with places to see, eat, etc).

I had the pleasure of staying here for 3 nights while having to do my motorbike P’s test and I have to say that Danielle who I assume is the owner was an amazing host. She was very helpful and took interest in what I was doing and that’s rare these days, her motel is very homely and great food smells that made you hungry. As for the rooms they may be from an earlier time but they were absolutely brilliant and the best were beautiful, I slept like a log. There is nothing I could fault and I will certainly be back and the location is very central and an easy walk anywhere. Thank you again for a wonderful stay.

This is by far the cheapest place to stay in Coffs Harbour, so any review needs to take this into account. It's definitely not an upmarket place. The room was tiny, the TV remote was missing and reception didn't have a replacement, the aircon made noise but didn't cool down the room at all. The fridge was so cold that the milk I put in there was a block of ice in the morning. That said, the room was decently clean and the bed comfortable. The location is very good too, just across the road from the major shopping area in Coffs Harbour. If you're not expecting an upmarket place, this is absolutely value for money.

I had a stay with 2 friends traveling through. It was clean and we had 3 single beds. Not over priced. Easy to book through ***********. Check in and out was easy. It is an older motel but clean and nicely freshened up. The bathroom was a good size too. Downside for me was the bed. It was a bit on the firm side with not alot of padding on the springs unfortunately. Handy location just off the highway heard a bit of traffic noise, not far from Coffs Harbour and Mutton Bird Island.

To those people who complain about Toreador Motel, all information is on the website. We needed emergency accomodation after an accident and had to stay in Coffs. Not only did the amazing lady (So sorry I forgot her name) stay open for longer to ensure we got in. ON A SUNDAY NIGHT!!! But was informative, ensured we knew where everything was and ensured we had everything we needed. Can’t go past this place again. I will definitely recommend. Also, very friendly cleaning staff in the morning, that wished us a great day. Thank you 🙏

Good air conditioning, space, amenities (provided soaps, cutlery, bowls etc) and a nice bed. Would have liked some spare toilet paper in the room (thankfully I bring my own anyway) just in case, but everything was clean and functional. The room felt safe and comfortable. Despite being next to the highway, it was quiet enough to sleep fine. The staff were nice about staying there til I came to pick up my room key around 8pm to avoid me having to arrange after-hours key pickup. The drive through car park seems cramped but it was actually fine to maneuver in - the fact that it's a one-way to the street out the back was very convenient for getting back to the highway in the morning. One thing I didn't like was that the carpet edging in the room seemed somehow sharp. I made an effort not to step on them while not wearing shoes. Having a sizeable freezer part of the mini fridge meant I could re-freeze all my esky ice packs after a long drive. For reference I stayed in an executive king room.
