Great being on site where you can have breakfast and tea. And the meals are really good. The only negaetive was tge heater in the room goes off every 2 hours. So can get quite cold overnight

This motel is located on the outskirts of town which worked well for our plans--we arrived at the airport in the afternoon and left the next morning. The motel is one level with sliding glass door entrance. The room was large with 2 beds with decent linens and heated mattress pads. the shower was decent. The price was very reasonable and parking was provided right in front of the room.

Room was great and all staff friendly. Only slight disappointment was having to negotiate the cleaner and her vacuum during breakfast in the restaurant.
