This motel is quite old and needs a refurbish. Although the room was spacious it needed some work. As a side note we could not get mobile coverage or internet access. It does have a nice rear aspect with a walking path and view over the lake.

Room was clean, friendly staff and service, great location and good value! Downside was there was an unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom drain but the place is quite old and rundown. Looked like some construction works were in progress so hopefully some improvements will be made soon. Overall we were pleased with our stay.
