This place is terrible. Dust & dirt, large box in the corner of the room, a child sock on the floor, bathroom sink was clogged and there was no curtain. This place looks like it is in the 50's & $110 a night is a ripoff in the highest.Bad, bad bad

A good, affordable little motel

We stayed for the weekend for a couple's getaway while our son was at a camp about an hour away. It was a simple room with white walls, but very clean and comfortable. The flooring was nice and updated looking. We chose it for the price. All appliances were unplugged except for the fridge. There was no coffee maker. We don't know if/where the BBQ is. Very small soap and shampoo packages for minimal waste. Garbage and recycling bins were in the room. The TV has a Roku remote. There is another review mentioning a curry smell - that is in the front desk as the owner family lives on site. There are two very small towns nearby - recommend the chip shop to eat out, and the restaurant next door is for breakfast and lunch closing at 2. Local businesses have limited hours because the towns are so small. From the description I was expecting young families, but it was very quiet. Would recommend for a nice stay on a budget.

Check in was quick and easy. Rooms are quaint and clean. Beds were comfortable. Most motels beds are like boards. Room was chilly but there was a heater. No curtains on bathroom windows which i thought was strange. Rooms are very plain. Nothing to write home about but a place to sleep in a pinch.
