The Grey on Black Morel was adorable. We had our own individual unit with full sized refrigerator, stovetop, microwave, and all cooking and serving pieces.
We checked in after hours, but the owner lives on the property and assured us that a late check in was no problem. Once we arrived she walked us through the unit to make sure we knew where everything was.
The unit itself was super clean and comfy. We were treated to two reclining chairs to watch TV in the evening. The bed was comfortable and we had electric blankets to warm it up before going to sleep.
We were given a later check out with a friendly smile and a “no worries.”
I would highly recommend this motel for a longer or short term stay.

This was an excellent find. It was good to have our own unit. It was super clean and well maintained. Ange and Paul are wonderful hosts and were very helpful in providing dining options, tour information, etc. We loved our stay here and would highly recommend to anyone that is in the area.

Lovely spacious rooms, warm, great views, central, easy parking and the owners are lovely! Got a call to ask if i was apart of an event that had been cancelled. Was so lovely that they called to make sure we were all good. Would 110% stay there again. Australian parents were warm considering it is middle of winter

This property is a lovely place to stay. Everything was as advertised. Check in was a breeze with a very friendly host.
I would recommend this property. Very clean and being relatively new everything was nice and fresh.
