The only suggestion we could make, is the need for a separate sink to wash your hands.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The actual room size was good. It had a small kitchenette with full size fridge which was a plus. Unfortunately the plug was too small for the sink, the bathroom was too small to swing a cat. Nowhere to put anything in the bathroom, no basin or cupboard, no mirror, nowhere to put soap. The coffee etc hadn't been replenished before we moved in and room wasn't serviced while we were there. Only stayed for 2 days though. The motel was in an excellent spot though.

Ok for a short stay

Bit expensive for the type of accomodation on offer. Usual country style motel but probably the smallest TV I’ve ever seen in a motel room. Also lack of a vanity basin in bathroom means using kitchenette sink to wash hands and no mirror for shaving? Good friendly people running this motel which appears to be more an accomodation place for travelling workers than a tourist motel.

Spur of the moment late booking due to work - staff waited up until I arrived just before 10pm - so appreciated. Friendly and helpful. On the side of the river was nice to wake up to and quick walk before heading off. Room was clean and comfortable. THANK YOU
