Good value room and breakfast
Would have rated it 5-stars were it not for a bit of noise from passing heavy vehicles - not enough to disturb unless a light sleeper. Simple but comfortable motel, with bonus of buffet continental breakfast at very reasonable cost. Bit out of town so need own tranport. Would definitely stay again.
