    Beautiful room. Parking right in front of room. Easy access to motel from the road but quiet in room. Hostess Kelliann was delightful. So kind and friendly. Allowed me to use the motel laundry room late in the evening (also kept hotel guest in room next to the guest laundry room from being bothered by noise of machines).

    Accommodation was central, Restaurant for dinner and Cafe for breakfast literally down the same road as the motel. Rooms were family size, fitted with kitchen if staying more than a night. Very happy with the choice of accommodation. Oh we left couple of items one being my grandson's headphones for his tablet, only a cheap pair but the motel owner called me to let me know. It is very rare for this especially with cleaning staff to hand belongings left behind. Thank you.
