Traditional comfortable motel, which was great for a one night stay. Good bed in a ground level room. Friendly staff. We didn't eat at the restaurant but had heard it was good. It is on a main road, but we couldn't hear any traffic noise.

We had previously stayed at the Best Western so we knew exactly what to expect in terms of the room size and facilities. The rooms are a bit tired (especially the bathrooms) but it was extremely clean and had everything we needed. The staff were courteous and helpful. The motel is on a busy road so earplugs are recommended for a good nights sleep. On the last afternoon of our stay we didn't have hot water in our room. The staff responded immediately, calling a tradesman in to fix the problem. Unfortunately the 'fix' didn't work so we were offered another room. As it was our final night we didn't want the bother of changing rooms but were able to use the shower in the other room. The staff were extremely helpful and nothing was a problem.
