A good medium-sized motel with good service and spacious rooms. Despite being close to the street, the room was quiet and well equipped. The air conditioning is particularly pleasant in summer. So recommended it hits best.

The staff were super friendly, the room was spacious and had everything we needed, and the setting was lovely. The price we paid through the Expedia app was more than we would normally pay for a property of this level. This place is fabulous if you get a good deal, and we would stay again if we were travelling to Thames.
