Everything was in order with an easy check in and the room was as expected. It would have been nice to have had the heating on for a while before arrival as it took some time for the room to get warm. Also, there was a property wide problem with the satellite so TV couldn't be accessed (would have used at night) which we discovered and reported to the front desk. Staff was very responsive and tried to get it working and then called for a service technician. Unfortunately that would be until the next day after we had checked out. WIFI was slow but adequate allowing us to use our own personnel devices

Not a 9. Needs to work on basics
We reserved this hotel due to 9/10 ratings on Hotels.com. Not expecting turn down service or plush bathrobe, but a clean well run motel. What we found was a bathroom that smelled mildewy. When we ran the bathroom fan to ventilate, it sucked the air from the adjoining room, and we could smell their smoke under the door. I question fire safety in this case. The walls were thin and our next door neighbours talked loudly until the late hours and kept us up. We even heard them have sex! In the morning there was hot water for the shower for only 2 minutes then it turned cold. My husband phoned the office to tell them and they were not interested. Told him I turned the handle the wrong way. That was impossible with this shower. It goes from off to cold to hot all in one direction. I had to finish my shower with cold water. Then on checkout the office tried to shut me down by telling me everyone had hot water (except me??) Also only instant coffee available. But water had a sulfurous odor and precipitated large white flakes of calcium in the kettle. Instant coffee curdled in the cup. In summary this hotel did not meet basic needs for a good nights sleep and personal hygiene.

Great little getaway
Very clean and comfortable room. Very nice and accommodating staff. The room was equipped with a small fridge/freezer and kettle for tea. Very quiet and cute. Renovated bathroom with comfortable beds. The only issue was the a/c smelled a bit musty but we didn't need it and were happy to leave the window open. We would definitely stay again

The owners are very friendly. They allowed us to check in early. They were even so very kind to allow us to borrow their personal phone charger, because I forgot mine. I would definitely recommend this place to friends. Thanks so much!

The staff are excellent and the place is newer and everything was clean and ready to use. The price dropped dramatically once the weekend started based on what google said the rooms cost. It was for us the only option.

Room was comfortable. Older property so sink and shower could be updated, however, very clean. Loved the real coffee mugs in room. Surprised only instant coffee but pleasantly surprised it was good. Courteous gentleman at front desk. Great value. Perfect location, could walk to most venues.

The location was right and our room was clean. It would have been the perfect motel experience if we had paid motel prices but it cost as much as a hotel without the extra comfort and amenities.
