Top of the Town Motel

This motel is on the outskirts of town which suited us fine. Very clean and lovely owners, only too happy to help where they can. There is a restaurant attached where we had a lovely dinner. Couldn't get breakfast due to a personal matter for the cook but any other day you can. There is a pool.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The welcome and service we received was top notch and made us feel really well cared for. The room and bathroom were clean with enough room for three adults. The beds were very comfortable and the shower was excellent. The room service meal was prompt and the servings generous. We’d like to thank our hosts for a wonderful experience and look forward to staying again the next time we’re in Inverell.

Very tired and showing age When booking I particularly asked if the restaurant would be open and was told yes it would be. On arrival I asked to book for dinner only to be told the restaurant was closed as it was a public holiday, the very reason I asked when booking. When I asked where we might find a restaurant I was told "only Mc Donalds open. Wont be back.

I booked this one thinking it was a place I'd stayed at before but I got that wrong and as it turned out that was a reasonably lucky break. We got there about 7pm. Leave earlier would be my advice. The road from Glen Innes to Inverell is easy enough but there were lots of kangaroos and wallabies to worry about in the dusk. When I went into the reception, the lovely lady have me the key and told me the restaurant was open till about 7.30 so if we wanted to eat, go in. As it happened they were still serving meals after 9pm. The great surprise is that it's a really good restaurant with excellent steaks, the lamb shanks were massive. In fact all portions were huge. Prices were from high $20s to high $30s and there were lobster feasts on special for $100. My partner couldn't finish his (I squeezed it in). Quality steaks in a surf and turf at $39 each. We got one with salad and chips and one with be and chips. Both options were lovely. All very "Aussie" food. I finished with a couple of shots of Glenfiddich at $7 per shot which is a great price and we had a bottle of Jacobs Creek Shiraz for $26. The beds were very comfortable and the place really clean with plenty of towels and quick, plentiful hot water so the shower was great. All the usual things in a motel room - cups, glasses, microwave, kettle, iron etc and a few plates and such. Tea, instant coffee and such with real (not UHT) milk given to you at reception on check in. Motels are all very similar really but this has the restaurant which made things easy and was such a good surprise. The feature brick walls in the rooms made us laugh. Someone, one time, looked at that brick and selected it from all the others. They certainly wanted them to be a "feature" and that's for sure. Tariff was $140 for the night. And I should add that the wait staff in the restaurant were lovely too.
