Loved how neat it is and the friendly family owners. I recommend better toiletries in the bathroom but that is only a minor thing. The pool looks small but we actually had so much fun with the our kids in it and the motel provided the towels, awesome!

The room was fit for purpose that met our needs. The staff are lovely and were positively responsive to a little mishap with a hose that was left running by other people which left a little bit of our floor wet. They gave us a fan and towels to fry it off and even treated us with some burgers. Going the extra mile with a smile. Thank you for your hospitality.
