The room was a very good size. Plenty of space to sit or snack. The en-suite was large with plenty of space for my wife and I to have all our toiletries.The shower was great with lots of hot water. The bed was comfortable and we slept well. The location of the motel was great backing onto a hotel which was on the main street. The motel was also only a short walk to many places to eat.
