We really liked this little motel. The rooms are very nicely renovated and super clean! Beds are extra comfortable, and the bedding is good quality. It’s a bit far to walk into Bala, but we used a cab and that was fine. Only two small things that I found missing. Wine glasses and a second mirror so someone can be getting ready in a mirror while someone is showering or using the bathroom. Other than that, it was a perfect quick stay!
