The room was clean, and the bed was surprisingly comfortable given the price of the room. Cleaning staff was friendly and came by after one day, which wasn’t needed but shows they are cleaning regularly. Amenities are very basic but the microwave and coffee maker worked just fine.

Good all round motel

Staff friendly. Location good for walking into town. Certainly a little dated but clean. Walls are thin as expected but other than some loud neighbours it seemed quiet. Good value for money. Would recommend as a cheaper option in the area.

The Inn was nice. The staff provided kind hospitality, accommodated a very late check in and housekeeping worked with our schedules. The area is in walking distance of eateries and small shops.
