The room was very clean and tidy. There was everything we needed in the room. The bed and pillows were really comfortable. The staff were lovely, very friendly and helpful. In fact we left something behind, which we have arranged to be couriered to us, after we received a call. This motel is in easy walking distance to town. We would definitely consider staying here again.

We had a great stay. Room was very clean and spacious and the owner was very thoughtful and generous to our kids. Also provided very helpful recommendations for things to do in the area. Laundry a bonus!
