We have stayed at plenty of awful budget motels while travelling, but this one was super clean and inviting, staff were incredibly responsive and helpful - when you're exhausted and a little panicked about finding somewhere to rest it means the world when you find a kind and accommodating place to stop!

Only stayed for one night but the room had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I chose this motel because the room looked big and had carpet so my 8 month old could crawl on the floor. He couldn't stop smiling everytime he was in the room. Room was large and we would definitely stay again. Great that there was covered on site parking and a cafe too.
