Really enjoyed our warm, very comfortable stay at the Garden City Motel.

We arrived late on a very cold Friday evening to a lovely welcome from the owners. Delighted to find our room warm with the heat pump already on. There were electric blankets too, so very comfortable for a winter stay. Big new supermarket nearby.
