I really liked this Motel. In fact, I would stay here again. The only thing that was a bit bothersome was the virtual check-in (I think this was their after hours protocol?). The person was very nice and patient, but I think they were in another country? There were glitches and delays, and it was a bit difficult to communicate. We got there in the end, but it wasn't an ideal experience.

I stayed here with my partner, we usually pick hotels but because of the price and reviews we decided to give it a try! Place was 9/10, pretty clean, bed was comfortable & location is okay. Sometimes it could be loud but other than that I enjoyed my stay. They have a pool which I didn’t use, but I did use their vending machine & ice dispenser. Overall everything was good! I would definitely stay here again!!

Rented the 3-beds room. Check-in and out was efficient and professional. There was adequate space to move around the room despite 3 double beds and 4 adults. The room was clean and everything was functioning. There was a coffee maker with supplies and a mini fridge for guest use. Overall a good clean place that met our needs.
