Overall we had an enjoyable stay here, but just a few minor details would have made it a great stay. The rooms have fridges with an ice compartment but no ice. After a very long a tiring journey I just wanted a cold glass of wine. Shower gel in the shower but no shampoo and conditioner. Nice and clean though and about a 10 minutes walk into the heart of town.

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!
