Staff were lovely and welcoming. We liked the amenities such as guest laundry and a simple breakfast. Some nice little details like complimentary chocolate. Downsides were that the motel is quite old and we shared the room with a number of bugs and harmless spiders.

The unit had an old bull fighting theme which was quite nice. Room was modern and clean. Breakfast was nice with various cereals, toasts, pastries, youghurts and some cold meat and cheese. Juices, tea and coffee were included and was a nice touch as an inclusion.
