This was perfect for our stay. There were no frills, the bed was comfortable and the hot water was hot. We came to town for the excellent Crowded House concert at the Ledge. We especially appreciated that we could walk to the show.

Not a 2 start motel.
Not a 2 star motel as advertised. I would give it a 1 star and I would not stay there again. Room smelled old and musty. Carpet may have been original and there is no way I would walk barefoot on it. No soap or shampoo provided.
