Plenty of parking. The manager was very nice, showed us our room and everything it offered - including homemade shortbread! The room had everything - including a lovely clean open but private thermal hot tub. There wasn't anything missing.

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Not to be trusted
Decent room, but very shady management. Stayed a night and wanted to extend for additional night. Asked 4 separate times for the price of the additional night and they continued to avoid answering only to say it will be a “little bit more,” claiming they had to raise prices for some event in town on a Thursday, even though practically every hotel had vacancy. Waited til 2PM to tell me the price was $74 more than the night before, over 40% increase, while they are not even close to being sold out. Shameful business sense, very deceitful. Will never come back and recommend you avoid this place as well. Also found a much cheaper price online for the same exact location on the same night for the same room type.

First time booking accommodation in the area as opposed to staying with friends. Easy, very friendly service. Expectations of the property and operation etc are straight forward and understandable. Property looks to have been renovated since original. In my opinion, sets a high standard for a motel accommodation. I booked the room with the spa and was very happy with my experience!
