Comfortable beds, spacious room. The wet floor shower made a mess of the bathroom; the water goes everywhere. Probably need a longer shower curtain or add a 2nd to help contain the water going everywhere. The room got very cold overnight. The heater was super noisy, so didn't leave it on. Kitchen needs a dish rack. Handy location, and good spaces for parking.

My stay at a motel in Gore, was largely positive, thanks to its impressive cleanliness and great location. The room and public areas were well-maintained, adding to the comfort of my stay. Its prime location in Gore made accessing local sights and necessities easy. However, the room could be improved with the addition of a bedside lamp, which was noticeably missing and would have been convenient for evening activities like reading. Despite this, I would recommend the motel for its overall value and comfort.
