    Very affordable motel with the basic necessities our little family needed for our stay. Walking distance to Palmy city, supermarket and a nest little cafe across the road. Really good size kitchen with a door to close off from the loungeroom which I liked to keep the cooking smells away from where we slept. Hotel managers were very accommodating and helpful when needing anything for our room. Surprisingly we didn't hear much traffic noise at all. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

    This was our second visit. We love the Deluxe Room when visiting with our kids. We made a last minute booking for the school holidays as there is so much for kids to do in Palmy. Hone and his family are lovely and always make us feel welcome and at home. Shower is great. Lots of breakfast options, comfy beds, great garden view. The location is very quiet and safe, with easy parking.

    The size was just like being at home. We weren't squashed. The rural atmosphere was very relaxing. The hosts were absolutely lovely. My children loved the farm animals. I will recommend Rural in the City for families especially. The price was superb.

    The unit was ideal for family convenience. Quiet motel down a lane off the street. Great having two bedrooms. Also the outdoor fully enclosed spa pool was a bonus. A very pleasant stay during school holidays. The grandkids had fun driving the gocarts at Daytona and great facilities at the plaza.
