I’ve been traveling for work over the past three days, and this hotel was by far the nicest and most enjoyable place I stayed. The rooms are immaculate, modern, and have clearly been recently renovated with a keen eye for detail. The design is both stylish and comfortable, making it feel quite upscale and welcoming. The room had all the amenities I needed, and the overall atmosphere was very relaxing. It’s evident that a lot of care has been put into maintaining this property, as everything felt fresh and clean. For the price, this motel offers incredible value. I will definitely choose to stay here again on my next trip, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality, affordable stay with a touch of luxury!

We felt so welcome, the people are lovely. The accommodation is much bigger than we thought it would be, it’s homely, clean, well equiped, and it had everything we needed. The tv is huge! The room service was fast and the food was nice. The airport shuttle is a great bonus.
