This was my 2nd time staying at this motel, at I was just as pleased as the previous time. Outstanding value for money, super clean, quiet, and nicely decorated with great facilities inside. Comfy bed with plenty of pillows, and air-conditioning (heat-pump). Also has full SKY TV, so no missing out on your favorite shows if you have to stay in, even FoxNews! I plan on coming back again and again.
