We had a wonderful stay at this motel. Everything was exceptionally clean, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We stayed in a room with one king-size bed and two single beds, which was perfect for our family. One of the highlights was the thermal spa pool located just behind the room. It was so relaxing to soak in the warm thermal pool after dinner—it made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The bathroom is a little dated, but it was very clean and the shower had great water pressure. The cleanliness and comfort more than made up for its older appearance. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with our stay. The room was comfortable, the facilities were excellent, and we would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

I really liked the motel. everything was up to state and all the rooms were spotless. my favourite part of the motel was probably the private spa outside the room. I strongly recommend this motel.
