Checking in was seamless and we were shown around the unit and everything explained in detail how to use air con, TV, etc. No road noise could be heard and bed was so comfy, we slept well! As we travel alot, it is important we choose good accommodation and I can, without a doubt say that this motel is top of our list! Thanks so much for your hospitality!

Their recommendations for things to do in the area were great. We enjoyed our time at this motel.
