The owner of the property is very lovely and ready to take an extra step to make his customers happy. We stayed in a family studio apartment which was spacious, tidy, cozy and had all the amenities for a family with small children. Sound proof rooms and plenty of parking on site available. Will definitely come back again.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
We stayed for three nights, it was quiet despite being near a main highway. The living and sleeping area was fine but we found the lack of an extractor fan in the bathroom and the window not being able to be open just a bit meant the room was damp and full of condensation, there was no shelving to put out toiletries on apart from a ledge by the pedestal basin. There was no smoke alarm fitted and the lighting was poor in the living area. It's just a bit tired and not up to even healthy homes standards. The proprietor was friendly and check in was easy.

We had a 2 bedroom family unit. It’s an older style motel which means plenty of space! The kids enjoyed a swim in the pool & the beds were comfy.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We really enjoyed our stay here. The rooms were very clean. The only thing that we found challenging were the showers -my mother-in-law is 84 and really would have appreciate a hand rail in the shower, as there is quite a large step down, and when it is wet and slippery, can be quite dangerous for older people.

This motel was cleaned quite well, but you had to walk over dog poop (some was old, old) to walk to your vehicle. Also the bed was uncomfortable - decor very old. The kitchen and bathroom were newer.

A bit dated, with the spanish arches going back 30 years. But very spacious and clean. A bit noisy over the weekend. However I liked it. Super value and good staff. Recommend. I stayed over two weeks, and would stay again. Mike
