This is an excellent motel, it was so clean and we loved the set up of the space with separate kitchen and bathroom in the larger room we booked. I was so impressed to see a recycling tub in the kitchen. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The location is very handy to town, just a short drive. Highly recommend.

I chose this place for the position as it is right next door to the museum and research centre in the middle of town. I made a mistake pre booking as when I checked in I overheard a walk-in getting a room for $38 dollars less per night than I had paid so think about the busyness of the hotel in winter. The restaurant seems expensive as there are great eateries within easy walking distance with cheap breakfast, lunch and dinner options ( you do get 15% discount if you open an account with the hotel)
