The location was by far the best aspect. The car park spaces are a bit narrow and should be designated.

We only needed an overnight stay. Motel is old and tired. Bed comfortable, clean unit . Bathroom needs plumbing. Water pressure not good otherwise all was well.

Friendly check in experience and although a bit dated and pokey, the room was better than I expected for the price. Close enough to the centre of town and relatively quiet.

The hotel had no idea about our booking and subsequently did not have the correct accommodation ready for us. We were shown a double room with a broken toilet in one bathroom. We were offered the room at a discounted rate, which we declined and managed to book alternative suitable accommodation.
