Give this place a try!
Honestly, we don't normally stay in motels, but we decided to try Emerald based on it's reviews. The reviews don't lie, Emerald is a great place to stay, very clean, grreat staff. The bed mattress are aged, but still comfortable. I would give it a 10 for it's value!

A perfect stay — our room was clean and comfortable, parking was a breeze, mini golf was SO MUCH FUN for adults and toddlers alike, and the owner/operators (I think?) were absolutely lovely and above-and-beyond helpful. We’ll definitely be back!

We had a lovely one night stay in this property. The room was large, spotless, the bed was excellent comfortable (and huge with loads of pillows!), the facilities were well keep and had some nice touches (lots of toiletries, a fridge, a good coffee machine with tea etc., lots of clean soft towels, great hot shower), the internet was good (good signal and fast) and staff where friendly, compitent and helpful. Only a slight deduction of one star for traffic occasionally being noisy and no microwave in the room (but there's is one at reception). Everything else was perfect! We would highly recommend and stay again!
