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.

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.

Nice comfy bed and a good shower. A little dated but all in working order and clean. A great example of a motel that has been looked after for many years. And a heater that kept the room warm all night noiselessly.
