The first and the most important to have a comfortable bed for your clients this was the worse bed I have slept at! Woke up with a very sure back after 2 hours then didn’t get much sleep. It way too soft !! Time to replace ! Very disappointed ☹️

This was the perfect small town motel. My room was super clean and included all sorts of amenities from clothing iron, portable stove, kettle, microwave, etc. There is a laundry onsite but you pay for the dryer and washer is free. There are cats who live on the property and they are all super friendly and cute! I was greeted by them all throughout my stay and it really added to the experience. 10/10 recommend!

Stop over
We arrived earlier than the 14.00 hours booking in time. I politely asked if it was possible to take the room earlier. If it had not been possible I would have accepted the decision. The key was handed over and I paid. The lady in question did not present a welcoming demeanour that I have seen in the other properties I have stayed in. Points of issue with Room 18: 1. Heater in bathroom does not work 2. Shower head leaks 3. Sink needs attention due to not emptying quick enough

Spiders inside and no table and one chair. Only a desk with TV on it. My wife had to sit on the bed to eat her meals . It needs a bit of maintenance and outside our door was a little tunnel. Spiders everywhere in it.
