Close to the Airport. The owner was nice to drop us off at Jucy rental for our rental camper. I would recommend this motel if you need to fly out early on the next day

Bed was comfortable but semi circular recessed into the wall. The bath shower was in the corner of the room with partial height glass brick wall. Steamed the room up no privacy No comfortable seating. Not a good vibe

8/10 Very good

Very handy for the airport
This was a quick overnight trip and the motel was fine. The patio was extremely private, which I appreciated, and the bed was comfortable. I'd say the furniture / cabinetry was quite tired and could do with a refurb but overall the experience was acceptable. Would I consider returning? Yes.

On the positive side , my room was clean and neat. The establishment was quiet even though it was fully booked. I was disappointed that the office was closed during office hours on Saturday morning when I needed some assistance to arrange transport. Overall though a happy client

Good quiet and clean facility within easy location of airport. Unfortunately had thought there would be a shuttle service, but hadn’t realised this was only after 9 am and not at 3.30 am when we had to leave. However taxi service was on time.
