Convenient stay

Motel has availability of dinner options although we didn't take advantage of this the prices were reasonably priced. Breakfast was great value. We shared a big breakfast and were both full before eating pancakes as well. Plunge coffee as well. A 4 minute walk to small shopping area with multiple eateries & bottle-o. Rooms are spacious & well appointed with kitchenette including microwave.

There was hardly any water coming out of the shower in the room 8. It was very difficult to mix it to the right temperature. The tap in the zinc is totally loose, which I have reported to the office.
