Overnight stay

Comfortable but basic with no frills. Everything we needed for an overnight stay. On the main road but noise not an issue for us. Need to walk or drive to shops and eating places.

This was the perfect small town motel. My room was super clean and included all sorts of amenities from clothing iron, portable stove, kettle, microwave, etc. There is a laundry onsite but you pay for the dryer and washer is free. There are cats who live on the property and they are all super friendly and cute! I was greeted by them all throughout my stay and it really added to the experience. 10/10 recommend!
