I had a decent stay at this motel. The rooms were clean and offered good value for money. The staff was friendly and really helpful, but I did struggle with the internet connection. It's located conveniently near a grocery and wine store with a restaurant, which is great, but there’s only so much to offer in terms of dining options.

I found the hotel to have a great location with a grocery and a restaurant right next door, which was super convenient. The rooms were very basic and could use some love, but for around $80, I guess you can't expect luxury. Unfortunately, the smell of smoke and alcohol lingered in our room, which was quite off-putting. The service was well-meaning, but I was disappointed by the lack of follow-up when my wife lost a significant ring during our stay.

I had a decent stay at the hotel, which was very basic but provided good value for the price I paid. The staff was friendly and eager to help, but I was disappointed when a special ring my wife left behind was not found even after we called back. The location was convenient, especially with a grocery store and a nice restaurant next door, making things easier for us during our stay.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The hotel offered good value for the price, with clean and basic accommodations, but I was disappointed when my wife’s special ring went missing after check-out. Also, the room had a strong smell of smoke and alcohol, which wasn't pleasant at all. The staff was friendly and helpful, though, which added a nice touch.

The hotel offers clean and warm rooms at a reasonable price, which is great for the value for money. The service was friendly and accommodating, though we had a minor issue with a missing ring. The location is convenient, being close to a grocery and a restaurant. However, some early morning noise could be a downside during your stay.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. It offers great value for the price, with clean and basic rooms. Unfortunately, I experienced some noise disturbances early in the morning, and I was disappointed when I realized my wife had left behind a special ring, which was never found. Overall, it's decent for the money, but the service could be a bit more attentive.

My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. While the location was quite convenient with a grocery/wine store and a decent restaurant nearby, the room itself was a letdown. It smelled strongly of smoke and alcohol and felt cramped. The service was okay, but I was directed to another hotel for recreation. Overall, I found it lacks the charm for couples and could use more attention to cleanliness.

I found the hotel to be decent for the price, at about $80 a night, though it was quite basic. It's conveniently located near a grocery store and a restaurant, which is a plus. However, I was really disappointed when my wife lost a significant ring in the bathroom, and despite calling right after, it wasn't found. Also, the noise from the pub could be a downside if you're looking for peace and quiet.

The hotel has a great location with a grocery and wine store adjacent to it, which is super convenient. The rooms left a lot to be desired as they had a lingering smell of smoke and alcohol, and were quite tiny. On the upside, the staff are friendly and helpful, making the stay somewhat enjoyable. However, the overall experience is hampered by the lack of cleanliness and the cramped quarters.
