Ok for one night stay to see the stunning lake. Be prepared to clean kitchen items before use.

6.0

Location is great. Easy walk to the lake with some views from the motel (outside). 2 minute walk to the grocery store and main street for restaurants etc. Linen was clean and beds were comfortable. Was ok for one night stay.

Poor value for money. The motel rooms are very dated. Kitchen items needed a clean before use. Kitchen sponge was old and used. We used the tea towel to wash dishes as it had been laundered. Shower curtain needs replacing - ?mould or old water marks on the bottom.
