Surprised although older style it was clean & comfortable friendly check in. Dinner at restaurant was delicious and prices were very reasonable. The saying goes "you can't tell a book by it's cover" well this applies to Espana Motel. We will recommend and stay here again

Great stop over motel for a roadtrip from Sydney to Gold Coast. So many large vehicles made packing tight and tricky but those who were considerate of others helped. Rooms very basic but had all that is required for a stop over. Water pressure and heat in shower was awesome!

the restaurant in the motel was a little lacking as the food was nice but the staff seemed not to know how to make simple sauces ie pepper sauce and simple drinks like lemon lime and bitters

This is a very comfortable hotel we stayed in room 7 The air-conditioning was wonderful our sleep was remarkable after 7 hours of driving. The bed was comfortable i connected the television to wifi was like been at home. The shower was hot & very refreshing. Has a table and chairs to sit and eat& jug microwave Older style ceiling fan when turned on to full throttle its like small Tornado in the room Next door is a service station, MacDonald's only klm down the road. The hotel looks like its been there since the 1950s is in remarkable condition. Obviously been renovated. I would definitely stay here again. I fail to understand why there would be any bad reviews. . Value for money

Stayed 2 nights, the rooms were clean and serviced after the first night. Staff friendly on check in. Only negative a couple of lights not working which made it quite dull. Would definitely stay there again. Easy to find and easy access to Grafton CBD and main roads.
