I love this motel. It had a very 1989 small town feel to it but definitely modern amenities. The breakfast is very good, better than a 4 star hotel. I made a mistake on my booking and the host was very kind in working with me. We will definitely stay here again.

Balcony overlooking creek was lovely and relaxing. Room was quite spacious. Great location, relatively quiet area. Great restaurants right across the street. This is an older property, but obviously well loved and maintained. .
