This was an excellent stay for us. The owner was super friendly, the room(#9) was a large area with a second bedroom, wifi worked well, the towels were good quality, and parking right outside the door. All the attributes we judge a hotel by were fantastic.

The motel is close to town with adequate off-street parking. It has double glazing at the front which reduces the road noise. The interior is dated but clean.
The staff are friendly.
