Northern Rivers Rail Trail, New South Wales hotel rooms at the Independent

"Clean room, friendly staff, however a lot of dirt next to the bed but no issue "

"Needs a revamp - it’s tired. Check in lady was friendly but didn’t offer anymore than there’s no cleaning on Sunday (the day we checked out). Couldn’t find a luggage trolley anywhere (didn’t see one the whole stay either)."

"Nice breakfast, very helpful staff, clean room "

"The biggest plus was the location - close to the beach, eateries and the action. The room was dark with a flickering lamp. The balcony was narrow and dirty with no seating. The bathroom was spacious but had no hooks to hang up clothes or towels. The staff were friendly and helpful. Room 8 is street level so could hear the music from across the road in the evening. Will explore other accommodation options next time."

"Good spot "

"Great location in the centre of town, restaurants and cafes ...the staff were great, had an issue with TV...poor quality TV and lip syncing was always out. The kitchen was ok...only electrical outlets in the cupboard, one stove top cooktop was not working, the outside door of the fridge was dirty, we wiped off the stains..some cups not clean. Couch and chair uncomfortable , no back support. Great bathroom clean looks updated. Great free underground carpark. "

"Good all round but needs some TLC"

"Very noisy all night "

"We had requested a specific area for our room as we stay at this property often and my wife struggles with walking with her cane. This was stated in the booking but upon arrival to check in we had been allocated a room furthest from lifts, car parks breakfast and pool access. We were advised by check in staff there was nothing they could do as they were fully booked. The manger over heard this and went through all the bookings and re checked us in to a more suitable access room for my wife. We would like to thank him for going out of his way to help us out. The room was in a helpful location and we thoroughly enjoyed our 2 nights at Peppers Salt as usual. Room was clean, breakfast great and pool amazing. We will definitely be back again"
