It offers air-conditioned rooms with a private bathroom and free WiFi. The property offers BBQ facilities. Comfort plus at this motel! Room was spotlessly clean when we arrived and the cleaning ladies did a fabulous job of servicing them daily. Checking in was seamless and we were shown around the unit and everything explained in detail how to use air con, TV, etc. No road noise could be heard and bed was so comfy, we slept well! As we travel alot, it is important we choose good accommodation and I can, without a doubt say that this motel is top of our list! Thanks so much for your hospitality!

We accidentally left our iPad there and they were so helpful in getting it shipped to us. We anticipated it would be a few days to get it but they were so quick to get the iPad out we had it arrive at our location before we even got there. Their recommendations for things to do in the area were great. We enjoyed our time at this motel.
