We stayed in this place a month ago and liked it as we were travelling with our pet dog as it was clean and convenient. So we requested the same room this time and the place raked of the smell of dog. As we were passing by, we didn’t make a scene.

We’ve stayed here before and it was excellent. Now there appears to be long term residents. With big dogs and cats living in the rooms. Sitting around talking and smoking at all hours. Plus a visit from the police in the middle of the night that capped off the stay.

A welcoming motel that was clean and comfortable. We really appreciated being able to take our dog and the motel was quite full but we did not hear a peep out of anyone. I would recommend it if you are traveling with a pet and wish more were accommodating like this!

I loved this motel, such great value for money. I felt safe, it was quiet, bottom stairs dog friendly. But what got me was the cleanliness. I was a cleaner for 4 years so I pay attention to detail…I couldn’t fault it. From top to bottom. The motel is very lucky to have such fabulous staff. Everything was so easy and comfortable. Would definitely recommend!!
