Only there for one night the restaurant was closed which was a shame as the menu looked good, not the motels fault.

Would have liked a dead bolt on the doorway. Other than that all was quite nice. The bathroom was very nice. A great deal for the money.

Great for families
The motel staff were amazing, so friendly, welcoming and helpful. Everything was lovely and clean, beds were very comfy. The kids especially enjoyed having the sports field right there to kick a ball around, and we could watch them from the balcony. Thanks very much, we'll be back 👍😄
