8/10 Good

"The motel was close to the town and we were very comfortable. It could be helpful to have a towel rail in the bathroom. There was ample parking."

Poshtel

"Love this accomodation- clean, friendly, great location and good breakfast food. What’s special about breakfast is the environment is such that people introduce themselves and chat over breakfast- love it."

Alpine Motel

8/10 Good

"Only stayed for the one night with my young family. We arrived late but called in advanced to let them know. I was greeted when we arrived and let inside. The owner turned on all the heaters so it was lovely and warm for our kids to snuggle straight into bed. Lovely stay and great staff."
