“The staff were very accommodating, arriving late, we were still able to check in and unlike arriving late at other motels, we were greeted by the staff and not just assigned a room with a key already in the door. We had a little mix up with our booking but the staff sorted it out easily for us without any issue. Room was cozy and well kept. Would recommend to others.”
