We liked the spacious room and that it was pet friendly and the staff were nice. It was very cold at night, an extra blanket would have been nice. But all in all a great place to stay.

Comfortable overnight stay

Very quick check-in. Our room was spacious and clean with a comfortable bed. Lowset older style motel with convenient parking outside front door. Some aeroplane noise early in the night, but this ceased by bedtime. Would stay here again.

Very pleasant stay room was big & nice with an upgrade to a king room. The Bed was a bit too soft for us though but other than that it was value for money.
