Staff were wonderful, but the hotel was just OK. Bathroom door was sticky and did not close, our room was micro small and bed was just OK. It was safe, affordable and pretty clean, but not sure if I would stay again.

A basic motel that satisfied our needs with easy access, cleanliness and comfortable accommodations. We had a problem with our email but the staff in the adjacent restaurant sorted things out for us in minutes. Sarah even prepared us gourmet coffee even though they were closed. Superb hospitality and great food and coffee. Thank you all.
