    Happy to have stayed but expected a bit better

    Great location and very friendly management. Lounge area was nice and kitchen well equipped with everything you need for a short stay

    Bathroom was disappointing.......shower was low pressure and it needed a bit of care and attention around the door. Toilet seat was a cheap plastic thing that felt very fragile. I hate being a picky like this and I understand times are tough but I expected a four star motel....front half was that but back half was a bit like 2-3 star. that needs a bit of a polish up. Note we were in one of the clearly older rooms

    Couple three night stay

    Bed was comfy, shower was grat, view was awesome. Owner was friendly and knowledgeable. Walking distance to lost springs.

    Too far too walk from town to motel at night. Didn't make up room the second night stay. Tv could be in bedroom and a little bigger.
