Comfort, Service, Restaurant, this is 1 of the best accommodation I travel to, 5 Star all the way, the best way to finish after a long day behind the wheel,
The room was clean and comfortable.
I was not happy with the noise that was coming from some other rooms. Obviously people celebrating the new year but not acceptable in a motel where people want to rest.
Great room, location and room size. Clean, modern and nice. Internet fantastic and quick.
Tv had all the right apps
Only issue i had was the rtv emote batteries were flat. Called reception and said to schedule it in and let him know. Never came back to me or fixed this small issue.
Clean neat well set out rooms.
Had all i needed
Great bed and linen.
Clean and very pretty establishment with lovely surroundings.
I felt safe and secured.
Great place to stay! The facilities are excellent, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the food is amazing. Highly recommend for a comfortable and enjoyable stay!
