Only stayed for one night but the room had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I chose this motel because the room looked big and had carpet so my 8 month old could crawl on the floor. He couldn't stop smiling everytime he was in the room. Room was large and we would definitely stay again. Great that there was covered on site parking and a cafe too.
