Hibiscus Lakeside Motel was a nice stopover for our holiday travel. The rooms were comfortable, practical and clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Shops and parks not far away and the location was relatively quiet.

The hotel was very well located, with a really good porch or outdoor seating area overlooking the river. It was quiet and restful, but close to shops and restaurants. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed our stay. The building is dated, but the rooms and bathrooms have been updated, and it has all you need.
