Amit from the staff was extremely helpful. The motel is excellent for a pocket friendly stay where one can use the common kitchen for cooking and very near to the sink hole and a few mins drive away from the blue lake

Overall clean and comfortable, i do not like having to clean dishes in a bathroom sink. The advertising did state there were stairs to the room, actually there were about 4, yet the were a bit deep and the handrail unstable, that being said they are obviously doing a complete renovation of the motel so hopefully the are looking into doing a ramp to be used by all if not upgrading the steps.
