I’ve been traveling for work over the past three days, and this hotel was by far the nicest and most enjoyable place I stayed. The rooms are immaculate, modern, and have clearly been recently renovated with a keen eye for detail. The design is both stylish and comfortable, making it feel quite upscale and welcoming. The room had all the amenities I needed, and the overall atmosphere was very relaxing. It’s evident that a lot of care has been put into maintaining this property, as everything felt fresh and clean. For the price, this motel offers incredible value. I will definitely choose to stay here again on my next trip, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality, affordable stay with a touch of luxury!

Very handy to the airport. Spacious room. Nice balcony to sit outside. Very warm. Good kitchen amenities. The only issue I felt was that the water pressure in the shower was week. It would have been nice to have a stronger flow. Would stay again though.

I needed a place for my granddaughter to stay so she could catch a flight the next morning. I've stayed her a number of times and always had good experiences. I spoke to lady at reception and asked if they could look after her and they were great. The next morning they helped her with her bags at the shuttle, got her to the airport, helped her get a baggage trolley and set her off in the right direction for check. Their help was very much appreciated and gave me some peace of mind.
