    The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would definately return. The room was very clean and spacious. It was very modern and had a heatpump. There was also a pool and you could pay to use the spa and/or sauna. It was a 5 minute drive from the township. I didn't mind staying there as it is definately the best motel that close to town
