Amazing:)
It was very comfortable and the staff were very friendly. However, the water pressure in the bathroom is too weak. Other than that, it was very amazing.

A comfortable and warm stay
We had a one night stay at this motel. The room was very comfortable and warm. It was just a shame there was no kettle or tea and coffee in the room. A bit of a pain having to walk around to the shared kitchen every time you wanted a drink.
There was ample free parking and the room was quiet.
The motel was pretty much in the centre of town and very walkable to everywhere.

Loved our night in a cabin. So snug and well appointed. A very unique and comfortable stay - we will be back.

Well situated accommodation for an overnight stay. Small rooms, but fine for a place to sleep and recharge.

Once you work out the warren of corridors, rooms and hot-tubs it's fine. Some parts of the property are reasonably old but maintained, if you don't mind that there's nothing not to like about it.

Thin walls, hard bed and a dusty room. A safe place to rest my head but not the comfort I was looking for after a trudge round Mount Doom.

Clean but not exactly worth the money
Very clean and very new. However, very small and doesn’t have essentials like a wardrobe to hang up your clothes. Basically living in a cabin but paying motel-hotel kind of prices.

Great little place to stay. Right in the middle of the town, so everything is within walking distance.
