Reasonable price for an older motel with some modern features such as new flooring. Good appliances in kitchen area. Good heating from the main area heatpump. Bathroom cold and no heating but great hotwater and shower pressure. Some of the electrics, eg power point for tv, looked a bit unsafe. King bed mattress firm and comfortable.

This was a lovely place to stay. The rooms were neat and clean, and the beds were comfortable. The only thing that disappointed me was that there was a stove/oven in the photo that I saw and I brought provisions for our meal accordingly. When we arrived, the room we were given had only a microwave and I had to go and pay for different food. This may have been my lack of attention to detail when I booked, but it did frustrate me. Otherwise, we had a pleasant stay and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Everything was good apart from the bed was too cold. Needed a better duvet or another blanket. Had to buy one to keep warm the 2nd night. Heat pump wasn't working properly either. Probably needs filters cleaned
