The property was convenient to town. However, the shower head and water pressure were terrible. The allocated parking spots were horrible and if you didn't park properly then you wouldn't fit (or you could be like the person who took my and their park so i didn't have anywhere to park). Being on the highway it was noisy but not unbearable. Not sure I'd book again.

NO HOT WATER. Had cold shower Arrived in the dark and raining. No idea where the room was as no easy readable signage and no lights on at the motel. No bright outside lights to see. The room has to be entered via a second driveway but you had to go back on highway to access it

The staff member on front counter was very helpful and friendly. Gave a great tip on where to eat locally. The beds were comfortable. The room was great for a nice sleep after a long day on the road and another ahead. I know hotels can do nothing about smokers, but the only thing that put me off was the smell of cigarette every time we opened the door/went outside.

The only reason I booked this motel was for the onsite restaurant, but it was closed as they can't find a chef. This information was not on its website or anywhere.
