Crystal was very friendly and welcoming. I can’t emphasize more how clean and tidy the room is— better than a lot of expensive hotel rooms I stayed in. Lovely bathroom amenities too. Nice toilet paper and face tissue — which a lot of other places tend to go cheap on. The bus stop is right outside and walkable distance to the plaza and supermarket. Already booked it again for my next trip to Palmy.

This is a great Motel. This place was so clean! You can tell they take a lot of pride in the place. The room was great with a full kitchen. This would be an excellent place to stay for a few days. Really friendly staff. Would highly recommend it to anyone. Wish more of the places we have stayed at were like this one.
