Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving.

    Good value place to stay in Glenelg with free parking (a must for us). Room is what you'd expect from a typical motel with the basic essentials. Daily room service is what exceeded our expectations though for a motel. Overall can recommend as a decent affordable accommodation in a good location.

    The concept of a hotel inside a motel. I love the stylish chic transformation renovation. The room is tastefully decorated. Thank you so much for the complimentary wifi and Netflix. Free parking right at doorstep— appreciated ground floor room. The beds are so comfortable, pillows are to my liking, the carpet was clean and soft; they have thought of every little detail. Shower is good, walk in, the bathroom is compact, but has everything you need. Towels are lovely and soft, and good quality shampoos.
