It was the best motel I’ve ever stayed in. Incredible inclusions, great room, lovely pool. Restaurant on site which worked for us having had a huge day moving out and interstate….. and where do you get your toilet paper? Soft. 😊

Do not book the Studio room! Upgrade to the Villa or don’t stay here. The Studio rooms are barely bigger than a prison cell and are nowhere near 5 star hotel quality. The property is neat and the staff are so nice. Just don’t book the Studio rooms.
