The bathroom is a little dated, water pressure in the shower not great and there was no sink to wash dishes apart from the bathroom one (there was a bowl in the cupboard that you could use for this purpose), the bed was comfy, the location great and the staff fantastic! But for our stay it was all we needed and was a popular motel as there were no vacancies that night. I think what made our stay so good was the interaction with the staff and if we were doing a short term stay again we would certainly consider Alpine as an option.

Nice comfy bed and a good shower. A little dated but all in working order and clean. A great example of a motel that has been looked after for many years. And a heater that kept the room warm all night noiselessly.

This was an excellent stay for us. The owner was super friendly, the room(#9) was a large area with a second bedroom, wifi worked well, the towels were good quality, and parking right outside the door. All the attributes we judge a hotel by were fantastic.
