Our short one night stay was comfortable, clean and the room well appointed even though slightly dated. Bedding was good. And staff had turned on the heating for our arrival on a cold wet windy afternoon which was a nice touch. The checkin staff were friendly and helpful.

2 night stay

2 night stay to do a Forgotten World adventures rail trip. Old school motel but clean & comfortable. Easy walking distance to main st for eating & shops. Close to Forgotten World adventures to access excursions. No aircon so we kept the bathroom windows propped well open for some fresh air. Convenient motel for all our needs & popular stop for tourists accessing local excursions.

A clean and spacious unit, however bed was to hard and uncomfortable so unable to get a good sleep. No air con made the room stuffy. Kitchen consisted of a microwave and Brebantia Twin Air Fryer. Eventually found instructions for use (perhaps a note on the kitchen wall telling guests where they can find instructions would help). However, good nights sleep is important to me, and usually I would not complain about the bed if my husband had slept well, unfortunately he also found it to uncomfortable for a good sleep (which is very unusual for him).
