Property is in a good location to town and next to the Country Club. Received advice about the restuarant before arrival only to find out it was in fact closed the duration of the long weekend. No rooms are serviced during this period either. Shower gel was empty in the shower and the pump machines are not very user friendly. Overall just a standard Motor Inn for a small town nothing special at all.
