We chose this motel because it had such a high rating. Maybe the other rooms are better but ours was dated and seriously run down. It so needs a make over. Staff were friendly and it was clean but no amount of cleanliness can make up for aged and worn chattels.

Basic and comfortable room. Comfy bed. Liked the spa bath in the small private courtyard out the back. Owners may need to spend a bit of time on maintenance, eg, the moss and cobwebs in the courtyard. Could also see the Smoke alarm was not working. Overall, a pleasant stay.

We booked the motel based on the pictures due to our place not having space for us until Saturday. The pictures did NOT match the facilities. Inside is not bad but the couches are not moved evident of the dust bunnies beneath them. And due to us needing 4 beds and there were only 3 we had to utilize the sleeper couch. The bathroom is small and in the middle of the room, not like the pictures and the lawn chairs are on concrete. There is also no place for children to go play outside. Not a bad place but not one i would recommend for people travelling with small children. (Also dont go on the pictures)
