    The location was good for our destination event (a funeral) We weren't looking for luxury accommodation, just a comfortable and clean place to sleep and this hotel/motel didn't disappoint. For a 3 star hotel, it was value for money. The staff were friendly and we asked for an early checkin and they were happy to oblige.
