There is a good sized kitchen with a table and chairs and all the essential cooking items. The bathroom was clean and the shower had very good water pressure. The bed was very comfortable and had electric blankets. There were also spare blankets and pillows in the cupboard. Check in was a breeze and I was given a small bottle of fresh milk. We were towing a trailer so the staff told us we could park next to the playground instead of on the street, there was no extra charge which was a bonus. The motel is just off the main highway, so it was very quiet, with no traffic noise. We only stayed one night, but I would happily stay again and for longer. I recommend this motel to anyone travelling around the area. ##### Julie Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Mar 11, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 1 night : clean and quiet.
