3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 March 2012

We stayed in a family room. It was quite average. The lay out of the room was poor. It was noisy and the bed wasn't overly comfortable. I booked online, the photos were deceiving. On the up side the staff were lovely and helpful and very accommodating. We had breakfast in our room which was also nice.

Went to the Matador last month with my wife for a week away from the rat-race of life & found it to be quite a great little motel. You have to remember......This is a MOTOR-INN .......... NOT A HOTEL!! The rooms were very clean & tidy with a MASSIVE King size bed & flat screen tv's. The shower is a... More

We were travelling from Brisbane to Wollongong and had originally planned to drive the entire distance in one trip, however, due to unexpected delays found ourselves in Coffs Harbour at 7pm with nowhere to stay. We tried a number of hotels before reaching this one, but all either had poor standards of cleanliness, rude staff or exorbitant rates. The Matador... More

After drving 535km we arrived at Matador Motel on the Pacific Highway which was so easy to find and I was all psyched as we hadn't stayed in a motel since the early 90's in New Orleans, it was as you'd expect clean and a bit 70's-ish and with lovely staff . Nearly made the mistake of booking the motel... More

We are sorry you felt this way. Up until you went out you were very noisy , laughing, talking as you do while getting ready, We the owners gave you some leeway as it was early but we have a lot of elderly guests and it was hard to hear the TV with the noise you were making. When you... More

We arrived Matador Motor Inn very late at night and was glad that our rooms are still available. Denise and her son gave us a warm welcome. As we have 2 infants n lots of luggages, they even shifted the car lot for us so that we can unload our luaggage without climbing the steep slope. And his son also... More

Not a place for the light sleeper. If its not the traffic on the highway keeping you awake all night, its the drunks stumbling home from the pub just down the road. I guess I should have realised with its position on the corner of a busy highway intersection.
