We have stayed here a number of times now. It's very good value, especially considering that breakfast is included and dinner is often available as an add on at a modest price. It's an older place but more than adequate. Parking directly outside the rooms, water pressure good in the shower, comfy bed and a quiet location.

I booked a room here late one night while travelling along the highway. Despite the last minute (and late night!) booking, staff were very welcoming and helpful. Room was clean, air conditioning ant TV worked well and the bed was comfortable. Ample parking, too. To my surprise, a continental breakfast buffet was included!
