Easy walking access to the river walk, shopping, restaurants. The motel is older so not to expect modern decor, but clean large, comfortable room. Comfortable bed. Smallish bathroom, but you don't live in a bathroom. A good choice for accommodation in a beautiful town.
I thought it was the best stay I have had in years. Felt like home. Friendly staff, clean, comfortable, super convenient. Comfortable bed. Then there was the shower, no ‘water saver’, can’t get wet here. It was just the best.
Only problem I had was that I had to leave the next day.
I’ll be baaack!
The stay was wonderful and handy to everything I needed. The room was a bit smaller than I would have liked however was clean. Coles was extremely handy.

When I got to the property I was greet with "there is a problem with you booking". The owner was new and was unaware that the motel appeared on the Expedia site. The owner was gracious and did all she could to provide accommodation for the night, although the accommodation was inferior to the accommodation I had booked on Expedia. This seems to be more an Expedia problem than a problem with the proprietors of the motel.
The proprietor did all she could in circumstances to help, for which I am grateful.
Incredibly helpful staff who were happy to help us multiple times during our stay. Room was clean and had all the appliances to make our stay comfortable (fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle). Great location near restaurants and shops.
The Civic was the loveliest place to stay. Cosy and comfortable, it was centrally located to shops, cinemas, hotels and restaurants. I highly recommend The Civic.
The staff were fantastic, friendly, professional and helpful in pointing out where things were located.
My room was clean had everything i needed. If i return to Grafton the Civic is where i will look too first.

Not enough car spaces. And are not numbered to match the room number.
The room is very dated as are the facilities. Austar channels are very limited, old system means finding something to watch is difficult.
The enertainment from the pub accross the road was so loud that ear plugs were needed to sleep, luckily I had some.
I paid $25.13 more than my mates did for the night. I thought I was supposed pay the same or better when using booking sites.
I have stayed here previously but won't be again.
For a basic motel room it was quite decent. The staff were very nice and the location was great

Grafton stay
Well priced Room had a double bed (not so comfortable) and a single bed and ensuite was clean Did not use air con but it was a window rattler
Decor a bit dated
Shower was a good size
Crown hotel has good meals and drinks reasonable prices and about 400m walk
Bogans in next room were noisey early morning, construction workers
Would stay there again
