The only issue was the room had french doors & no windows, so it was very stuffy on a hot humid night. And too much light due to no curtains.

Without A/C the room was very breezy with the ceiling fan which was quiet. Common kitchen area & balconies were nice. A bit deceiving was the room ads-noticed it was a "shared bathroom" (which I would not have booked) then I saw a room that didn't have this description & I booked believing it has a bathroom. Please make every room clear. However, they were beautiful and clean (just redone). A lovely stay : )

Was reasonably close to the exit from Highway and in a quiet location near freshwater. I just wanted to get as far away from Brisbane as possible and closure of checking in at 10 pm suited me better.

We stayed one night at this place. The room was simple but worth the money spent, offering great value. The bar and food options were a nice touch, making everything easy and convenient. While the bathrooms are shared, they were clean and well-maintained, so it wasn’t an issue. The room we stayed in was next to the balcony, where some guests were gathered, so there was a bit of noise even after 10 PM. Additionally, the balcony lights shone directly into our room through the window, which could be improved for better comfort. Overall, a good place for a short stay—comfortable.

Thankyou for our beautiful stay at your hotel over the christmas period. The room was comfortable and lovely, and the freshly updated bathrooms and amenties were fantastic. The food looked amazing and well priced. My only regret we couldn't stay longer. Beautiful main street and river to explore. Not far to Yamba for a beach swim.

Quaint and friendly stopover off the highway.

The Maclean Hotel is full of old world charm and was a great location to stay in the middle of town and on the river front. Our room, a Standard Queen was clean, comfortable and very affordable over a long weekend. The shared bathrooms are thoroughly modern and very clean. A guest laundry, kitchen with a fridge and a small dining/ lounge is provided on the accommodation level which is upstairs over the hotel below. (NB there is no lift - not a problem for me but could be an issue for others). We dined in the hotel and the meals were affordable and delicious. Staff were courteous and very helpful. I have only have 2 suggestions- a bedside lamp and the addition of drapes to the window to reduce the early morning sun. I would strongly recommend a visit to the Maclean Hotel.
