Colonial Lodge Motel
Our two bed unit was clean and well appointed. It was well out of the way of the main units so it was quiet. The kitchen had everything we needed.

ASURE Ambassador Motor Lodge
Layout of the room could have been improved as could not use the couch and watch TV. TV was a bit small, tucked in the corner and too low to comfortably watch from the bed. Otherwise, clean, tidy and good service on arrival.
