The motel, itself is fine for a short to medium stay. Easy to get to and minimal (but sufficient) facilities.||||However, customer service was not up to par.||The queen bedroom we rented was depicted in the pictures with two towels, so we mistakenly booked that room assuming two people staying would be ok.||It wasn't and we were met with two random knocks on the door by the person on duty - 10:30 pm and 7:15 am.||Both visits were accusive, immediately being questioned if we had 3 people staying in the room and no apology for the interruption was offered.||||It was only upon checking out the next morning that we were told that the booking was for 1 person only and that (without any opportunity to explain ourselves) we were being charged an extra $20.||We are both pretty easy-going people and are happy to admit when we've made a mistake, however, we will not be staying here again due to the poor attitude and customer service...

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm welcome by Mick, the manager, who truly goes above and beyond for his guests. You can tell he genuinely cares – super friendly, helpful, and always around to make sure everything runs smoothly.
