Older motel but comfortable bed and large ensuite room. Our only problem was the unviewable TV reception which appears to be a problem for the town. Good evening meals at the nearby club.

Good overnight stay, close to dining and entertainment. Rooms desperately need blackout curtains, especially the class panel doors. No sleeping when the sun is up.

Is only when you arrive that you find out there is no one in attendance. It's not difficult, but as you can't check your phone whilst driving, it's a bit daunting when you get there and there's no one around. When you get your phone out to ring the number, that's when you read their text and it's all sorted. Quiet, clean and accessible to the town.
