An old motel but well looked after inside and clean. The family room was exceptional with a bedroom with 4 beds in addition to double bed in large main living area.

Not many places for a morning run. Other than that - all was great.

The location was ideal for our visit. The price suited our budget. It was quiet, comfortable and had what we expected for a stay.

We stayed just overnight. There is nothing I did not like.

The reception was super friendly and helpful. The location was great as we wanted to do a cave tour.

It was clean but could be a bit cleaner. There was some spider web around which was really fine
