Love these older motels that have been renovated. Nice, new, clean rooms with large rooms that older style motels used to have. I love being able to park directly in front of my room. Plenty of parking spaces. Breakfast was plentiful and staff were very pleasant. We were going to stay in Nelson but decided to drive down the road a bit. Glad we did. Great price. Great place.

Staff was helpful and even let us check in early. The rooms are clean and are of good size. The property is old and it shows. The bathroom and carpets need replacing and that seems the only reason for unpleasant smell in hotel.
