10/10 Excellent

From the moment I stepped into the office, I knew this Motel would be great. The owner was so lovely - I couldn't seem to get my key to open the door and she came straight to help me. The room, including bathroom, was extremely clean, it was warm, cozy and it had a spa bath, which was an added bonus. The owner was friendly every time I saw her. I stay in a lot of Motels and other accommodation and this was definitely one of the best - and the price was better than most Motels! Thanks!
