Everything was spot on, there is nothing negative to say. The service was exceptional, a nice hot coffee was delivered to my room. The room was warm up on arrival. Bed was comfy. To top it off there was bread and condiments in the fridge to have for breakfast.

Really impressed with this motel. Close to everything, easy check in and parking, spacious clean room and really friendly staff. Basic breakfast included was so convenient. I thought it would be noisy but with the door shut I didn’t hear any road traffic at all. Would stay here again for sure.
