The two bedroom unit was great, clean, comfortable and spacious. We ordered breakfast and received a delicious homemade continental breakfast in a generous portion. The spa in bathroom was also a bonus. Thanks to the family who own and operate the motel. You are doing a great job. Keep it up👏👍

Everything about the room was lovely EXCEPT the bed and bedding. All of the pillows provided were too high for me and I had a sore neck in the morning. The bed slumped to the middle. Oh and the tea selection wasn’t very good.
