The room was just what we needed for the 3 of us. The electric blankets and air con made our stay so much more comfortable. And my son loved the little packets of biscuits. The only downside was that nothing was within (toddler) walking distance... but everything was only 3 mins drive away, so not too bad. We enjoyed our stay!

This is a budget motel, so expectations should be adjusted accordingly. The room had the usual budget motel musty smell. The shower stall is small. But on the positive side, the room had a couch, a dining table, and the table settings needed to have breakfast in the room. The heater worked well, as did the available blankets.

Stayed at this motor inn and couldn’t be happier! The room was clean, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet, making for a very relaxing stay. The staff were absolutely lovely—friendly, helpful, and welcoming from start to finish. The location was perfect too, close to everything we needed.
