We checked into this motel without a prior booking and after a brief inspection that showed that, although it looks '1970s' from outside, inside was comfortable, very clean, spacious and well-equipped. We had a separate bedroom with bathroom access; ranch sliders leading to a patio and a small private lawn. As we were on a 'resting' holiday we spent a... More

It does say on the office window that the office closes at 7pm and also in our room journals, however we do live over the office, so all people... More

This is a real gem! The hosts, John and Maureen, are lovely people - really helpful with suggestions of places to go etc. The rooms are spacious and spotlessly kept, milk in the fridge ready for a brew-up when you arrive. The beds are very comfortable. Plenty of car parking and easy walking distance to everything in town, but just... More

There are lots of cockroaches in rooms, bathrooms and kitchenette of this beautiful motel! Parking space is good. Rooms are spacious with nice balcony. However, the management of this motel is rude and not welcoming. No matter if guest's reach late, management should understand that delay in checking In by guests happen for reasons, they should make there guests feel... More

I have checked our bookings and these guests did stay with us back in February. We have no record of any problem at the time and we did actually give them a free upgrade. Why would it take a "senior contributor" 10 months to write this? This is hardly fair on us Trip Advisor, how about removing it??? More

We stayed here for a week with our small dog. The motel is clean and comfortable and very close to some good restaurants. You can walk anywhere from here.
