The motel was very clean and comfortable. Was a cold night had heating which was very welcome 🙏
Close to airport 🛫, easy for visitors to find and close to City.
Enjoyable stay 😊
We had a lovely stay here, very clean and tidy and a great shower. Couldn’t hear any noise from the road or other guests. I would 100% recommend it and stay again myself! ☺️
Only thing that I would mark down is how light the room was (but I do like it to be pitch black when I’m sleeping!)
The hotel is completely up to date, close to the airport, helpful and inexpensive shuttle. The staff is extremely helpful. We would stay there again, most definitely.
We Enjoyed our stay at the Palms Motel, everything was super clean & inviting, not too far to the airport or city.
We checked out at 6am to get our flight but it was canceled, I called the Motel to ask if we could come back to stay until 10am and they were amazing, so highly recommend the service here.
Thank you 🙂
Very nice clean and modern hotel. Excellent service and accommodation. Super friendly staff. Highly recommend this place for travellers going to airport.
