We stayed here for 2 nights on our way south. Excellent location right in the middle of town. Everything is so close. They have bikes for rent (which worked out well for us to get around). The hosts were really nice and had lots of information about the area. Would definitely stay again. More

Great location (opposite I-site). Received a really friendly welcome. Rooms were good and very clean. Had a ground floor room, which I agree with others lacks privacy, but would not let this put me of. Already planning our trip for 2014 and will stay again. More

We chose this hotel because of its central location and free parking. We got both. However, all of the rooms seem to face the parking lot, which I find very off-putting. So we were on the ground floor, with our windows facing parked cars and eye-level with passing hotel guests. There were no voile type curtains to let in light... More

We have stayed at the HCMI about two to three times a year since about 2006.We have always been thankful for the friendly welcome at reception and the spotless presentation of our room. The position of the motor inn being just a stones throw from the many downtown restaurants and shopping precinct is another bonus.Add to this the spacious room... More

We arrived too early to get in the unit but there was no problem leaving the car behind while we went into town (just a very short walk away). When we got into the room, we were offered all things available, plus anything else we needed, just ask (it was a disabled unit). It was extremely clean, very spacious, comfortable... More

Easy to find, nice modern accommodation with very pleasant accommodating staff. Handy to all shops and restaurants. Would be one of the cleanest, tidiest, well equipped places we have stayed at with a spa bath thrown in for good measure. More

Spent one night whilst at a conference over the road. Management were fantastic letting me check in early & leave my car on the premises late the next day. Rooms were spacious & very very clean. A good nights sleep and a great location mean I will be back again. More
