Convenient for local attractions, and local eating spots. Unit was dated, but comfortable for a night's stay. Shower floor was a bit slippery with soapy water underfoot. Nice toiletries were provided.

The property was clean and comfortable. Truly appreciated the arrangements for a late check in. Got there late and left early so not a lot to go on otherwise. Much nicer than the last motor lodge we stayed in!

Considering what we paid and the location of the hotel , we were a bit skeptical until we arrived. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean , very spacious and very , very comfortable. Little things like water bottles, chocolate, and milk in the fridge just added to the enjoyment. Town with shopping and restaurants is a short walk away

Room and staff ticked all the boxes BUT a couple of easy chairs or a sofa would have transformed the stay for two weary travellers looking to relax with glasses of wine.
