The motel was clean and comfortable and after 10pm was quiet. We had coffee, tea, orange juice, cereal, hardboiled eggs, toast and more for breakfast. There was a wet area near the refrigerator though. Check in and check out were fast and straightforward.

Our room was clean and our check in person was very nice and helpful. The bed was comfortable and the motel was quiet. Some furnishings were a bit shabby and the bathroom sink drain had no plug - don’t drop your toothbrush or an earring.

A great value.

I enjoyed my stay at this nice family owned hotel, very spacious room with parking right outside my door, and quiet surroundings. Only wished the ice machine was working when I was there.

Much better than I expected 👍

I must say I was pleasantly surprised at the condition of the room. The facility is obviously older but is in remarkable condition and you can see that the roof was just replaced. The room was very clean and nice. My only issue was the bed that was somewhere between plywood and concrete hard, but managed to get a decent night's sleep.

Sufficient for one quick night stay. It’s a basic older place but met our needs. Breakfast was sufficient.

Good value for money

Stayed for 3 nights. Big room and reasonably comfortable. Bathroom was small and could be a bit cleaner. Friendly staff. The motel is just out of town but we did not mind. Overall good value for money
