Nice clean comfortable room. Some minor repairs are required. Needs a new shower head, there was no chain for the lock on the door. Reception was friendly and helpful. Overall a good quality lower priced motel, that is in easy walking distance to shopping centre and main street.

Very poor, reception was not very welcoming either

Parking for car was not adequate, people in other units were partying until 5 a.m., so didn’t get much sleep, which was needed before I had a long drive next day. Somebody who manages hotel should have evicted or told them to quieten down, thumping up and down the stairs also.
