An older Motel, but beautiful and clean. Very comfortable bed & the room had everything that we needed. We weren’t getting in until 11.30pm the manager went and turned our heater on & also our electric blanket ( how wonderful was that)

Good Old Motel

Everything you expect in a motel, but rarely get ie tissues, working alarm clock, a/c, USB sockets, microwave oven, toaster and plates. Yes it is old and out of town, but well maintained and friendly host who upgraded us to a larger room.

The staff were fantastic straight from the start and continued to be so for the rest of the week. Only a few minutes drive to town with a unique paint scheme on the outside it was easy to find on your way back. Well priced it was a great place to stay and I hope to have a chance to stay again.
