Would stay again

This hotel is located close to the town center. It was well-apportioned and a nice place to stay. While there was one pay washer and dryer for guest use from 2 - 8 pm, the dryer was not efficient. Otherwise a very pleasant place to stay.

It was ok for our needs. One thing that I was not happy with was the main bedroom had another bed in it which made room very tight. Suggest remove extra bed and bring the main bed out from the wall.

Great stay in an excellent location. Had everything we needed, clean and tidy, and friendly and helpful staff. Had the best information folder I've seen anywhere; clearly laid out and easy to read. Especially liked how it showed how far places were from the motel.
