A little maintenance on the room would have been good. Such as fixing curtains that weren't attached. A door on the bathroom to stop the light from outside lights coming in. Wire door on sliding door so you could let fresh air in during the day. The room was very clean, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable. This was the first motel I have ever stayed in where there was no soap provided in the bathroom. Towels were in good supply. Overall we had a very pleasant stay.

Very nice

We were very impressed as the manager rang us to ask when we would be arriving and gave us the choice of an upstairs or down stairs room. I said we would be there in 5 minutes and he said we could book in early and that the rooms were ready and we had a look at the rooms and we picked the one we liked best. We had the upstairs room and had a nice view.

It was clean and well equipped. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom clean. There was just one problem: a foul stench when we entered the room. It was especially pronounced at the entrance. The door to our room as well as the next one were wide open in a clear attempt to air them. It seems that it was just those two rooms because our friends, staying a few doors down from us, didn't have the problem.
