Great Value and Warm Hospitality! I had a great stay at this motel! It's an excellent value for the price — clean, comfortable, and everything worked just as expected. What really stood out to me was the receptionist. They were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making check-in a breeze and offering helpful local tips. It’s the kind of personal touch that makes a big difference. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for affordable, friendly accommodation.

Tired but a beautiful setting

Excellent setting with beautiful views from the road. Check-in was curt. Bed was old and saggy, so poor night’s sleep. Well equipped for a single night.

Highly dissapointed and wouldn't recommend it at all. Wish we had read other reviews online as the unit absolutely stunk of urine. Unit doors were all open on arrival to disguise it I expect. Other reviews stated they had joy when dealing with managers and our payment had already gone through. We got out of there at 6.30am after a rough nights sleep and $184 lighter - an absolute rip off! How it can be left like this is very bad and possibly poses a health risk. What would have been a nice motel a few years back is not being maintained well at all. Tainted our stay in Fox particularly after two great nights in Franz and Hoki
