The owner was very friendly and welcoming when I arrived. Simple process and I stayed 2 nights. The room was very clean and spacious and good for what I was looking for. The simple continental breakfast I ordered was great and very reasonable. The bed was clean and comfortable with enough pillows and good bed linen. The bathroom was very tired and in need of renovation at some stage BUT it was very clean and functional so was good enough for my short stay. I appreciated the plunger coffee too. All in all, for the reasonable price I was able to pay, I thought the Motel was clean, comfortable and good for a weekend stay. Was also quiet at night which was helpful for a good nights sleep. I wish the owners all the best for their future and may pop back for another weekend later this year. Thank you!
