The staff were nice and the hotel clean and quiet. It was an older building but it had been maintained well - especially inside. My wife was happy and that is not easily achieved :)

Unplanned Short Notice Visit

We have stayed here a few times now and once again we were happy with the Motel and the support from staff. The little extra's like disposable tooth brushes and shaver in the bathroom were much appreciated and came in very handy.

Even though somewhat dated the rooms are spacious and very clean. Linen was clean, shower pressure and temperature were spot on. The staff were all very welcoming and helpful. This oozes old fashioned service and charm.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was nice enough, would be great for families for the space and sleeping arangements and for the price. Easy parking outside of the room. The bed was pretty uncomfortable though as it was very firm, woke up after one night with joint pain all over. The room was clean but the office was small and cluttered.
