Ibis Budget Coffs Harbour
Room was clean. Bed a little firm, but clean. Crisp white sheets; beautiful. The only problem was the noise. Motel is situated quite close to the Pacific Highway. The Coast Hotel is next door for everything dinner. Breakfast is available at the motel for additional cost.

Aquajet Motel
I've stayed at this motel on a previous occassion. It's clean, it's quiet & a good place to stop & stay if you're planning to overnight in Coffs. The pool is an added bonus ... somewhere to loosen up after a 5hr drive.
