Our host was charming and helpful, the room was spotless and bed very comfortable. Plenty of variety and supplies of coffee, tea, etc. Plenty of towels, face cloths and toiletries. Older motel but was very well maintained. Close to railway line but no trains between 10.30pm and 6.55am, so had a really good nights sleep. Would definitely stay again.
