clean and tidy with an excellent Indian Restaurant next door. We were honestly shocked just how nicely finished and clean and tidy the room was. We had motorcycled a long distance so were tired and worn out and we given a free upgrade to a ground floor king room. Definitely worth all the stars we gave them and would stay here every time we come to town.

Nicely remodeled rooms. Friendly service. Special coffees, but unfortunately no tea. But we were able to get a hot water kettle from the desk. We very much appreciate the eco friendly soap and shampoo dispensers.

Great little motel that felt more like a hotel. It has been recently reno’d and is really well done. The beds were comfortable with several pillows to choose from. Everything felt clean and new. They should definitely be rated higher than a 2 star. Would definitely stay here again.
