Great spot near the center of town. Clean and quiet, and while not a modern place it has been refurbished and is very clean, nicely painted and a quiet stay.
Oh and Karen at reception was very nice and welcoming.

After booking in and arriving at short notice I was promptly provided with my key and the breakfast details. Breakfast the next day was freshly prepared and the room and breakfast combo was good value for money. I would stay here again and have recommended the motel to others.
