The Cubana Ballina

The Cubana Ballina

10/10 Excellent
"This is a cute, renovated old style budget motel. We stayed one night as part of a longer trip and were very happy with this place. It’s close to the river walk, and is about 1km easy walk into the centre of Ballina. Reception isn’t 24 hours but they have key boxes for late arrivals. There is a nice outdoor pool area and parking outside the unit’s door. Tea and coffee making is provided and the room was big enough for us to lay out our 2 suitcases."
