We had a very warm Greeeting when we arrived. It was in a good location. Very clean and just what the pictures showed when we were booking. We have found to many times that accomadations aren't what they show. Would return there again.

Location of the motel was good for overnight stay after late flight. It was neat and tidy with fresh milk provided for tea or coffee. The staff were very pleasant. Unfortunately there was a broken window which I couldn’t close so the blind banged all night and I could hear the traffic noise despite wearing ear plugs.
