Clean spacious room, comfy bed. Nice pool area and on outskirts of town.
Kitchen area and bathroom need updating and room near main road meant some traffic noise.

The motel is older but well maintained. A pleasant staff member checked us in, the rooms were neat and tidy, the swimming pools and grounds were well maintained, and we enjoyed our stay.

The owner was brilliant, very approachable and attentive. Room was perfect for what we needed and the salt pool was amazing for not being riddled in chlorine. We will be back

Road noise made it impossible (for us) to sleep without earplugs. Very clean and had all the normal practical things you need, but we were there to get sleep/rest and that was problematic. A more modern motel would have effective soundproofing…Unfortunately that would mean huge costs for the owner of this one. Heavier sleepers no doubt won’t have an issue.

Super friendly staff, everything cleaned and replaced daily. Loved the heated pool and the fact that every room had its own heat pump (considering the temperature outside). Would love to stay again :)

Clean property, easy check in/check out and easy to get to the town centre from. Really great having an indoor pool for winter - am sure the outdoor pool is nice in summer too, Although the rooms are dated they are very clean and in good condition with good facilities. Suited our family of 3 for a long weekend.
