Staff were very nice and location was walking distance to shops and restaurants. Room was outdated and had a bad smell. Also, there were only a few channels that worked.

Kind of got what we paid for but it was very dated and although it has a kitchen it was not well equipped. No sharp knives. The microwave had to be lifted off its stand to be plugged in, Which was no easy feat. The staff were friendly and it was certainly large and clean enough.

Friendly staff, perfect location and nice, modern room. Cooking facilities basic but good for simple meal prep. Shower nice and warm. Bed pretty comfy, plenty pillows and sheets. A few cobwebs missed but overall very good stay!

We booked 3 rooms and none of them had a decent hot water system. The hot water ran cold after 2 minutes in all of them
The rooms are getting very dated. However the staff were very friendly and helpful

This is a classic motel in a small town. We were in the older side of the establishment, the room as quite dated as were the appliances. The towels were very small and were quite old (white towels but were grey and fraying). The space was good as it fit the purpose we needed (a bed and a shower) however it wouldn't be somewhere we'd book if we were spending lots of time in the room. The staff were very lovely and helpful.

We had a wonderful stay here! Definitely stay in the deluxe superior rooms as you’ll be in the newer section/build onsite. Lovely stay and super close to everything. Parking onsite.
