The staff was very friendly and helpful. The motel’s location is excellent, being close to town and across the road from the Services Club where we enjoyed a fine meal. The motel is looking tired and could use some renovations. Our main concern was that no internet available in rooms 39 and 40, although the manager did try to remedy this. A young person would have been dismayed by the lack of this service.
