"The motel is a little older, but the rooms were spotless and very well presented. It’s in a good location, with the convenience of parking right outside your unit. The staff were absolutely awesome — friendly, welcoming, and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. The room had all the basics, and the breakfast was simple but hit the spot. It’s a very affordable place to stay, offering great value for money. We’ll definitely be staying here again!"
