The large grassy area in the front of hotel makes for a perfect and welcoming entrance. It is set back from the Prince of Wales road, which makes it very quiet. Thanks for the great stay.

As was the case last time we stayed, very clean and courteous staff. If I had one suggestion, maybe a pool or something for any kids that stay. We’ve been very happy with this motel. Close to the airport is an asset also!

Not 5 stars but clean and a very nice area. Booked a room for 3 people, was charged for a third person. The room came with a bed and pull out sofa. Only bedding was on the bed, would assume they would have put bedding for the pull out couch. Happy we had a blanket and pillow in the car!
