It feels very luxurious inside the rooms. And this is the only motel I’ve ever been to with underfloor heating in the bathroom!! Quiet, very comfortable. Lovely welcome. Good space for parking.

“Very clean and tidy well equipped motel unit with lovely host”
It was a very nice well equipped unit. I haven't seen such great amenities at a motel in a long time and spotlessly clean. I'd definitely stay there again. Very friendly host that made us feel welcome
