Almare Tourist Motel
Very friendly reception - spotlessly clean room - comfortable bed and pillows - nice fluffy towels - although the room was small, it was perfectly adequate for an overnight stay. The breakfast was large and reasonable value. Would I stay here again, yes, definitely.

River Street Motel
Staff were very helpful trying to accommodate our needs. We didn't realise the undercover parking would not accommodate our vehicle when booking online, as our Sprinter Van is 2.3m high. But the van could be parked in an open space on the property. They upgraded us to a bigger room than booked online ...
