Good quiet and clean facility within easy location of airport. Unfortunately had thought there would be a shuttle service, but hadn’t realised this was only after 9 am and not at 3.30 am when we had to leave. However taxi service was on time.

There is no way it would be comfortable for a family as very small. I was only 1 person and found it very small.

I arrived a day early for an organized trip and this was a great place to start. It's close to the airport with a shuttle that picked me up. It's quiet and comfortable with an option for breakfast at about $6 US.

We are regulars at this location and we can’t fault the service and the ease with these fabulous owners. Unfortunately in our unit this time the bathroom sink did not drain easily and the hot water ran out after one shower. I can think there was a fault this time around as we’ve never had these issues in the past. Normally a fantastic stay here.

Although I was disappointed with the checkin, the property is in excellently maintained. The grounds were clean and the rooms were well appointed. Overall the motel is a little dated, and there was no one to check us in at 8:30 PM on a Friday night, but a perfect location for any early morning flights.

Had no hot water for a shower and it took ½ an hour to find anyone on the property to fix it as there was no one in reception which was supposed to be open was eventually fixed. Then when we went to leave we went to reception to ask them to call for a taxi and there was a note saying that they had gone out
