"No friendly welcome on arrival ..no offer of help with carrying luggage upstairs..im 70 on my own..no directions just a pointing of finger ...do you want milk? ..just unfriendly after a long drive"
"This motel was in a fabulous location, right opposite the lake and easy walking to shops, cafes and restaurants. The motel had easy parking. The staff were all friendly and inviting. The rooms were very clean and modern. Having a kitchenette was great and we loved sitting on the deck area, overlooking the lake for drinks and nibbles. Loved our stay and can’t wait to return. "
