“I stayed at the motel for 2 nights as I had to attend a family get together. The room had all that I needed and the motel is located in the centre of town and close everywhere that I had to go. Vikki, the hotel manager, was very helpful and gave me a good deal for the two nights that I stayed. I booked directly with Vikki and bypassed the booking agencies altogether, which I thoroughly recommend everyone should do. Great motel and service!”

“Stayed over easter break. I believe we stayed in one of their renovated rooms, which was very clean and a pleasure to stay in. The heated blanket/mattress was great to use at night. Spacious fridge and also had a toaster! Room is a bit small but enough for us who were exploring all day. Met the managers a couple of times, who were very friendly. Very convenient location as well in town. Highly recommend this place if you are passing by.”

“Recently I stayed in this motel for 2 nights with my friends. The staff is super friendly and cool. We were on motorcycles and it was a rainy day, they got covered parking where we can park max 4 bikes. That was Awesome!! Even though this motel doesn't have customer laundry facility, the manager of this property allowed us to use the cloth drier. I think they said, we do that for bikers (on request). The manager lady was very helpful. Room was all right, no complaints there. Shower was amazing. Location of this motel is what I think deserve 6 stars. Servo in the front, restaurants and fast food nearby.”

“I had an absolutely fantastic experience here. From the moment I arrived, the management made me feel incredibly welcome—super friendly, professional, and clearly dedicated to providing top-notch service.The room itself was spotless. Everything felt fresh and well-maintained. The bed was cozy, the bathroom immaculate.You can really tell the owners care about their guests and take pride in the place. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this motel to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-managed place to stay. I’ll definitely be back, and thank you to Jamie (manager) for an awesome stay!”
