Very handy for the airport
This was a quick overnight trip and the motel was fine. The patio was extremely private, which I appreciated, and the bed was comfortable. I'd say the furniture / cabinetry was quite tired and could do with a refurb but overall the experience was acceptable. Would I consider returning? Yes.

On the positive side , my room was clean and neat. The establishment was quiet even though it was fully booked. I was disappointed that the office was closed during office hours on Saturday morning when I needed some assistance to arrange transport. Overall though a happy client

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.
