Friendly, helpful people running this motel. The room is spacious with plenty of room to put your bags. There is a separate good size bedroom - you don't get that in many motels. Comfortable bed. Quiet location. Definitely would stay here again.

Michelle and staff were very friendly and helpful. It is a convenient neat and well maintained motel. Our room had a good size living area separated from the kitchen by an island style dining table. Neat bathroom and walk thru robe. The decor was tasteful and the apartment was modern yet relaxed.

High quality styling, but disappointing upkeep

The property had high quality styling both externally and internally to the rooms. Unfortunately, this high quality styling was not matched by the maintenance. Water stains evident in the ceiling and patching thereof did not match the quality of the remainder of the property. Additionally, the air conditioner unit was not sufficiently powerful for the rooms.

Our room was very clean and comfortable with ceiling fans and air conditioning and had been renovated recently. The owner was very welcoming and we felt very comfortable. The nearby pub/bistro he recommended was excellent. Only minor gripe was the patchy internet reception. We felt the owners were trying very hard to make our stay a pleasant one.
