This property was exceptionally clean (I’ve never seen stainless sparkle like this shower and sink!!) and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Walking distance to Lonestar, a pharmacy and Superette. The Z gas station across the road has great coffee (we are coffee snobs and avoid gas station coffee) for the morning. We stayed in a family room which had its own full kitchen including oven. Separate room with double bed and could easily fit two children with extra room for a pull out or portacot. Great room for families at a reasonable price, will definitely come back when in the area again ☺️
