Loved this motel. Comfy furniture, warm and clean. Quiet too, unless open window or door. Could not hear people next door using their room. Couldn’t hear them drive in or out either. Want to return.

The room was extremely spacious, with a huge kitchen. We really liked the layout of the room, it was refreshingly different to other motel rooms. It was also well equipped, warm and comfortable. The person at check in was helpful and informative. We were very happy with our stay.

Unfortunately there was very little natural light due to the mezzanine floor, so lights needed to be on all day. Needs silicone replaced around the shower area as moulding and limited ventilation in the bathroom with no fan (only a window). Towels weren’t replaced daily over our 3 night stay, so remained damp. Staff were lovely.
