Good location and reasonably priced. Shower head was too low - at chest height for averaged height woman and was over a bath so difficult to climb into for older or non mobile people. The units upstairs were not easily accesible for older or less mobile people - would have liked option of ground floor. Cord for electric blanket on window side of double bed didn’t reach power point and one on other side of the bed was split - so no electric blanket to use. The host was nice - took time to show us around the room. The heater was very efficient. Nice touch to have the paper delivered each day.

The motel room was sizable. It was a little dated, but the facilities were very good. The studio in is suitable for a couple or smaller family, with its separate double bedroom, and full kitchen. It was economically priced and provided excellent value for money.

This motel has seen better days and is sorely in need of maintenance. Many fittings are worn and the property generally looks tired. There is black mould in the bathroom. I was told had scored an upgrade but it just meant I had 2 flights of stairs to get to room and another to get to the bedroom.

Overall my stay was brilliant. If I must quibble, water in shower, toilet and sinks was a bit weak. Again, loved the room and overall accommodation, made my visit all that more restful/enjoyable.
