Staff member was friendly. Facilities were tidy but not clean, also in need of some serious maintenance. Motel did come up when I searched for free parking but was actually $15 per night. It was okay but we won't be back.

Very basic as expected for the price, but cold night as duvet was very light, room smelt damp / musty, and empty reception with hostile answerphone message was a bit scary (no one to help you, good bye) made me think I might have fallen for a trick, so it was a relief to get a person on the line several minutes later and get access to the key.

Although the check in process was a little strange and I do not agree with having to give my credit card details over the phone, I was very appreciative of the room upgrade, it was very spacious and comfortable, the beds and linens were well-made and spotless. The room smelt freshly cleaned. Although an older building with older furnishings, for what I needed it was perfect. Perhaps a little more care cleaning in the bathroom, specifically the toilet. As I was travelling alone, security and safety was my priority and at first I wasn’t sure of the location but it seemed very secure in the motel rooms. There was an issue around 1am where there were loud voices from men and then what sounded like a vehicle colliding at force with something outside of my room which had me feeling uneasy for sometime after (I was a shaken up and too scared to look out the window to see what was happening, and the remnants of the collision were all over the driveway the next morning) but aside from those few things I had a very comfortable and value for money, stay which was appreciated. The location was fantastic and I would come back again definitely.

It's a shame because it's in a great location. If they put more love into it, it would be excellent. We came in winter, and there was no blanket, and the bedspread was burnt.

Thin blankets. Broken bed bases and some were to small. Kettle seemed to have had coffee boiled in it. No couch just a single bed to sit on to watch tv
