The place was very clean, well-equipped, and clearly designed with care. The location is great and it’s nice and quiet at night. I booked at 7:30 pm for a 9 pm check-in and only later realized the office closed at 8, so I felt nervous and a bit sorry about the timing. Luckily I got a quick and helpful response which made everything easy. At checkout I met a lovely and friendly staff member who even recognized my room right away. It all made me feel really welcome. Highly recommended!

The lodge was very well located really close to town Center. The room was large, linen extremely good quality, table was good for me to do some work as the wifi was strong. The toilet was large and clean. Ample car parking space. We liked everything there. The owner Deen is too good - friendly, helpful and above all a very good gentleman. Loved this place

Looking for a motel?
