"Our two bedroom unit was spotlessly clean, spacious, and warm. It was an old house converted to two flats, now motel units. As there were 4 of us (2 couples) we found that the toilet should be a separate room! And mirrors in the bedrooms would have been handy. I think that this unit will be upgraded to match the other units of the motel complex - which are exceptional - we’ve stayed in those before. The staff were very helpful."
