This motel was just ok. I was surprised the room wasn’t cleaned daily like most motels, we stayed 5 night and had to ask for fresh towels and more toilet paper. The fridge was set to such a high temperature it froze all our food ruining everything. The bathroom didn’t have a fan, which meant the room fogged up each time we had a shower. I would not stay here again.

Excellent setting with beautiful views from the road. Check-in was curt. Bed was old and saggy, so poor night’s sleep. Well equipped for a single night.

Highly dissapointed and wouldn't recommend it at all. Wish we had read other reviews online as the unit absolutely stunk of urine. Unit doors were all open on arrival to disguise it I expect. Other reviews stated they had joy when dealing with managers and our payment had already gone through. We got out of there at 6.30am after a rough nights sleep and $184 lighter - an absolute rip off! How it can be left like this is very bad and possibly poses a health risk. What would have been a nice motel a few years back is not being maintained well at all. Tainted our stay in Fox particularly after two great nights in Franz and Hoki
