Liked: Staff & service
Good position large room & nice staff.
Towels in the bathroom very thin & not white & shower drain flooded the bathroom which was an issue.
Room was good loved it unfortunately we were unable to use the restaurant cause of a function they could have had part of the restaurant for people staying there
Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and the bed was ridiculously comfortable. Motel was close to town. Meals were tasty, generous and well priced.
What a wonderful hotel in a great location. Our room was huge and beautifully decorated. We thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay there. Highly recommend this hotel. Keep up the great work!!!
Very nice older style motel with updated amenities inside. Clean and comfortable with lovely service. Pool was heaven after a hot day and was not chlorine but saltwater (yay). Lovely entryway with piano and curved staircase to upper floor. Restaurant on site that caters breakfast as well. We would definitely stay again.
The property was lovely . The room was very clean except for the bathroom which had hair on the floor under the basin area - quite obvious
The treadle on the bin was broken or had come lose - just needs checking
Otherwise a very nice place to stay
