Very close to hospital for a family members admission. Inside the unit was very clean and tidy. Had everything that we required and beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was lovely. Only thing I could fault was the big ashtrays outside our room werent emptied and I hate cigarette butts. Other than that I would definitely stay again.

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.
