Great place to stay, close enough to walk to town. Clean and comfy although a bit dated and old but they are renovating. Would recommend letting people know when booking that you are renovating so they are aware. Pool and spa were not available for use (unclean). Staff were friendly and helpful.

Very average..
In general, everything was old. The door lock was rather flimsy hence I don’t feel secure in the room. Water pressure from shower head was low. We stayed for a few days, No replenishment of toiletries or water, need to request and pick up from concierge. The only plus of this hotel is everyone was very courteous, polite and helpful. This is the first and last time we will stay here.

We liked the late check in, the rooms are a bit dated but back in the 90’s this motel was the very best in the area. We would stay again.

Old and tired, needs a major renovation. The bathroom sink was cracked and the water drained extremely slow.
