Hi team, Thank you I had a nice stay at the motel, however I would have appreciated that in our five nights stay there the room could have been vacuumed when we requested for the clean. Otherwise everybody was very helpful and the staff very honest and reliable🙏 I will definitely be staying at the hotel/ motel again next year. God bless!!

This hotel has a lot to offer: the staff are friendly and professional, the free airport shuttle is incredibly convenient, and the restaurant boasts a great atmosphere. The room itself was clean, though the decor is somewhat dated. The only real issue was the showerhead, which sprayed water erratically, making a mess of the bathroom.
