Just stayed here overnight - but was fantastic - definitely the best motel we’ve stayed in whilst on our travels. Great selection of utensils so could actually cook a meal. Lovely hot bath and you could even wash your clothes for free in the laundry room. Great value for money. Would be lovely to stay here in the summer with being so close to the lake

What was unique, was in the private court yard was an ashtray, whether one smokes or not, this was unique. Not just a sand pit dish. The unit was very clean, tidy and accommodated to our needs. Nice place to relax after a travel.
